The Ultimate Betrayal.

Being unwanted is bad enough, but to be euthanized and then just thrown into a shallow, mass grave, behind the pound where you were brought to hopefully, find a new and loving home, is the ultimate betrayal.

80 miles SE of Columbus, in a town called McConnelsville, OH, this happened. Animal rights activists brought it to light on Sunday, the 31st. of March. A mass grave with the unknown total of dead animals was uncovered. The dog warden, of 21 yrs., has 30 days to dispose of the animals properly. At least he is on unpaid leave. The EPA cited Morgan County, which is the county that the pound is located in.

This is another case of abuse at a shelter. I thought I had heard it all, but each day, something new hits me like a baseball bat.
