Maybe if they spent that 7 million spaying and neutering strays, they wouldn't have so many end up being killed. Hmmmmm. Cheap vets charge about 50 bucks to spay/neuter. 140,000 (if my math is right, which is may not be) animals could be spayed or neutered with 7 million bucks!

My god, the numbers for 2005 and 2004 show a euthanasia rate of about 50% In 2004 that was almost 25 EVERY DAY. This place must employ a full time death squad. These guys are years away from anything vaguely resembling "no-kill", they wouldn't even know how to start.Their IRS 990 form (income and expenses, available at www.guidestar.org ) shows that in 2004 their income was over a million dollars more than their expenses and they had over 7 million in cash and other assets. Shows what you can do when running a slaughterhouse. You'd think they might consider taking a few million and building a larger facility so they wouldn't need to kill so many healthy and adoptable animals to have room to take in more animals. They might also want to consider a few more dollars on vet care as their kill rate for "medical reasons" seems very high.I work with a real no-kill shelter and we hardly ever put an animal down except in extreme circumstances. Of course, we are always broke and Tacoma has 7 million dollars.Gary----- Original Message -----From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2006 8:53 AMSubject: Check out Shelter kills five puppies by mistake |TheNewsTribune.com | Ta...This is one of the reasons I hate dealing with certain shelters/humane societies up here.

Sneak preview the all-new Yahoo.com. It's not radically different. Just radically better.
