A copy of a letter sent to the County Commisioner
"Dear Sirs, we are extremely disturbed by the photos and information we are learning regarding the inhumane treatment of animals making into your Animal Services facility. We are also aware that this has been an ongoing problem at this facility for a number of years. The specifics of unacceptable practices by your shelter is now out in the open and you cannot hide from the problem any longer. There have been over 1,000 responses and comments about the poor dog left to die in agony on a concrete floor in your facility. That dog laid there for 3 days without intervention....that Sirs is animal cruelty! It is time for Shelter Reform, Animal Services no longer stands for unethical treatment or quick euthanasia of our furry friends. There are countless animal advocates out there willing to offer you Free assistance in helping your Animal Services find your 'dangerous' animals homes! In fact they have tried for years, but have been denied access to your tax payer funded Animal Services facility! This attitude will not be tolerated any longer, what secrets are you hiding? There are no more secrets. Either lead Shelter Reform, or get the heck out of the way, because this problem in your County is Not going away and neither are we Animal Advocates. It may take a change in commissioners and Management, whatever it takes, change is inevitable. And for your information, since Sumters Animal Services has gone viral, Animal Advocates are now aware of the inhumane treatment animals are receiving at your facility in Florida literally from coast to coast, and most likely globally! You all should be ashamed of yourselves!
Most sincerely, Carol A Seme
Animal Advocate and Voice for those without A Voice"
