Persecution of No-Kill rescue by Humane Society

[mrspunkysmom]

Have you filed charges against them? Regardless of their excuse for the raid, they shouldn't assault anyone.

I see by the articles that the media is involved. I'm surprised that they raided after the first and only inspection. Not that you needed any corrective measures, but usually some time is allowed to correct problems before a second inspection.

Did you see a warrant?

This sounds like a theft to me. And jealousy. And PETA is involved. And I read that you have a lawyer. Did they arrest you?

I read your September Archives. How SAD. I do hope Mickie is alive.

Good luck.

Last Update: 10:22 pm

Dozens showed support Wednesday night for the Cat Ladies Society in Youngstown after they were raided one week ago.

Tonight, a candlelight vigil was held in honor of those cats.

The Cat Ladies Society said they got word from their lawyers Wednesday that 64 of the 80 cats taken in the raid have been euthanized.

Humane agents raided the newly opened cat shelter last week after numerous reports of neglect and animal hoarding. Supporters and shelter volunteers said the cats were well-loved, and those accusations are far from the truth.

Cat Ladies officials said all of the 80 cats taken were adoptable, though some had colds and fungal infections, which they said can be easily cured.

As for the hoarding accusations, the volunteers said they hundreds of cats were adopted from the shelter last year, and hoarders don't normally let that many cats go.

Candace, thanks for posting the lastest update. This is all way too sad. Why don't the so called "Humane Agents" concentrate on real animal hoarders and leave the shelters that are trying to make a difference alone.

From reading the article, it seems they at least have a lawyer. I hope justice is done SOON!

I hope that they sue the ASPCA and the individuals that started this. I would chip in for the lawyer.
