Just wanted to let everyone who responded a big THANK YOU!!!!

You validated my feelings that it isn't about the people - it is about the animals!! I did send out the email message and I have written the news (electronic and print) about our concerns.

Sometimes I feel that we forget the bigger picture - it is about all the animals and not about our egos. Our organization wants to do what is best for the animals. We fought for the shelter because we needed time to get a better plan in place, but the shelter doesn't do a very good job. When the city doesn't have the manpower to man a shelter 24/7 and animals are neglected from 3pm on Saturday until 9am on Monday - there must be a better way. When you have a facility that is only open during the daytime hours - how can you say that you are doing the best for the animals? I don't feel that the city government with their rules and regulations can do what is best for the animals - they are more concerned about union contracts than they are about the animals. There has got to be a better way. Unfortuately - there are people in the city that feel the status quo is acceptable. Personally - I do not.

Again - thank you for your support.
