(Also posted in the dog section) I once lived in this county and now stay about 30 minutes away from the site where this happens on a daily basis. So many of us in rescue were thrilled to see someone stand up from outside our state. Here in Bladen County, the next county over, it is a totally different story and it involves having animal control officers who care, as well as all the rescue groups working together with animal control. Anyone in our county who fails to treat an animal in county custody with respect is dismissed from their duties. This is how it should be. My husband and I lived in the county where this happens for a long time. This lady wrote the truth and she wrote a very factual account. We really do want national coverage on this. We want a public outcry. What are your thoughts and would you be willing to sign a petition to the Governor of our state if we start one? This is attempting to be white- washed. Must we stand silently by and watch this "go away, " lost in a field of political rhetoric? I, for one, do not intend to sit by now that others have seen the cruelty. It is time to stop this, to stop these vicious acts wherever they occur. I love the state where I was born, and I expect our elected officials to respond. But it seems when anyone attempts to post on her board concerning this now we get a malicious content warning. This has happened to several of us in the state. I had posted a question about this earlier today and had to remove the question because I was having issues with my computer after having linked to the governor's site. Now I am linking to the actual letter. Let's hope I have better results. Thank you in advance. http:/ / www.facebook.com/ #!/ note.php?note_id=367057528831 &id=100000749283610 &ref=ss The state is North Carolina. Governor Beverly Purdue is not really responding to this. I would like to ask our President, since he did speak in favor of animal rights at one time what he thinks about a governor from his political party refusing to act when asked. (and that is not meant to slam any political affiliation...just a statement) Oh, most cats get put down almost as soon as they come in. They are declared feral and a menace. Though I am sure this will be denied too, but we have seen it for years. We have begged for help from the Humane Society.... ZILCH.

I will do anything in my power to help with this. I read the entire article and I am absolutely disgusted with these sad facts. I plan on sending this article to a well known animal advocate in my county. Please feel free to e-mail me anything having to do with this along with any petition you come up with. I would be proud to be involved with what you are trying to do. This DOES deserve not only public outcry, but for something to actually be done about this situation. I live in a county that is repulsive in their acts of helping animals. I've seen terrible things, dog fighting, animal cruelty, people throwing dogs out of car windows... it's time for something to be done about this and I will be right along side of anyone who is fighting for the rights of these animals. Please let me know more about this situation. My e-mail address is Tigerlillyx272@yahoo.com. Let me know in the subject that you are the one sending me information about this topic. I GREATLY appreciate it and wish you all the luck in the world in what you are trying to accomplish!

Count me in. I also posted the blog to my fb page. I have friends all over the country who are in rescue. This is sickening and needs to be stopped. I'm bumfuzzled...one cat in a facility that big? That doesn't sit well with me either. I'll restar in the morning as most of my contacts are daytime users.
