Unfortunately, this is not the first time I have heard of something like this happening. In my work as a legal secretary, there was a lawsuit involving a City shelter here locally which I will not name which involved animal abuse and severe cruelty to animals. There has to be some sort of governing agency that watches out over these shelters. It does, in fact, go on and needs to be monitored more.

I recall one year, I was renting a room, from a lady, who had lot of folks come over, she could be there, so she left me dinner, and the treats from the store, and I hand out the candy, while trying to do some homework at the same time. This early 94 or so I think.

We had 54 young people, very small and very tall, and they were wonderful...One young man said "This is the nicest neighborhood to come for Halloween" and I said...that's because we have the nicest kids coming to this neighborhood. Wish every neighborhood could protect their young and teens enjoying the costumes, fun and sppoky stuff. I am also glad to see so many homes, churches, schools, local govternments providing a safe haven for those who can't find it neighborhoods.

How can these be considered any type of shelter? This sounds like a nightmare for these poor animals. I wish that I could see law and justice become one and the same. I would like to see these people that commit these horrific criminal acts against animals get sent to a jail cell that has no room for them to move and they have to live in their own feces.

I was fortunate that a shelter helped me board my cat at a vet, but it was horrible for us to be separated at the time. This is a worthy cause.
