PLEASE SIGN PETITION: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/13/stop-the-killing-at-Caddo-Parish

Since taking over as the Director of Caddo Parish Animal Control, Matthew Pepper has changed the direction of the shelter into becoming a virtual slaughter house.

The following information was provided as of 05/17/08:

Between 5-5-08, and 5-16-08, they euthanized over 300 animals. On 5-13-08 they euthanized 78 animals that one day. They use no sedation, and frequently not the right dosage, as animals are found alive in the freezer, quite often. The same person does the euthanasia.

There was a cat and her kittens that were euthanized right in their kennel, and just left there, and are still there!

There is a small "Benji" type puppy that rescue was told would be put down because of parvo. When it was pointed out that there is no parvo there, and the puppy is not sick, they said that the puppy was not friendly, and could not be adopted.
