Recently, attempts have been made to rescue puppies from a Los Angeles animal shelter. Unfortunately, these puppies were lost in the shelter's drainage system before they could be rescued. Safety polices need to be changed at the Lancaster Animal Shelter

Noted, tweeted, signed, tweeted, and shared. Sad that this incompetence causes puppies their lives. Shameful that the people who run the shelters are supposed to care more about these animals because it is their jobs to save them.

Noted and signed. This is outrageous! The safety of all animals should come first and foremost. The fact that it's happened more than once shows that the shelter has no concern for the animals. They should be charged with animal cruelty. Thanks so much, Cher.

The Five Freedoms are now recognized to have much broader application across species. Can we truly say our shelters fulfill their promisies to our pets?
The Five Freedoms are:

• Freedom from Hunger and Thirst –
by readYaccess to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigor.

• Freedom
from Discomfort –
by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and
a comfortable resting area.

• Freedom from Pain, Injury or Disease – by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.

• Freedom to Express Normal Behavior–
by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the
animal's own kind.

• Freedom from Fear and Distress – by ensuring conditions
and treatment which avoid mental suffering.

Animals tragically being washed down the drains at this shelter is the result of lax oversight, both by the shelter and local government, which in turn is severely short of funds due to the rich ripping off the rest of the public through their ridiculously low tax rate.

This story broke my heart as so many of them do. I can't get the image of terrified puppies out of my mind. A shelter should be exactly that; a shelter; not a place of danger. Definitely noted, signed, twittered, and shared on fb and google.
