The other side of that equation is the resulting higher number of animal kills when as many adoptions are not occurring.Gary R.

I know there are some friends who disagree, but I liked his philosophy and approach to animal welfare. It was nice to have someone as Director who believed that animal control shouldn&#39;t primarily be focused on killing the animals.Paul K.

I guess Mr. Rae wasn&#39;t part of the problem after all.Blog Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900497671781531454noreply@blogger.com
