93 year old women lost her collie....

This happened in New York yesterday--a 93 year old woman's 13-year old collie was lost yesterday morning. She arrived at NY Animal Care and Control in the afternoon and
was put to sleep 4 hours later. Animals are legally supposed to be held for 72 hours. No one on the ACC staff even bothered to check the lost reports,
make a match and call the owner, who had filed a lost dog report! It's business as usual at NY ACC.
Brain-damaged monkeys can do a far better job than New York's Animal Care and Control. The animal and rescue community is furious and heart-broken over this poor woman's loss and pain
and the death of her dog. And all the other pain and misery going on for animals at NY ACC. Angel lived 13 years with her owner, just to die alone and in terror for no reason-- but for ACC's stupidity,
shameless ineptitude and lack of compassion for the animals in their care .
Every animal lover and rescue group needs to know what 's going on in New York--supposedly the world's greatest city--and how the animals are suffering because of the horrific job ACC is doing.
It's just business as usual--kill, kill, kill--and the faster the better to meet a downsized budget. Especially if you're a senior, a pit bull (and we have lots), might eat too much kibble or need minor medical care.
ACC and Charlene Pedrolie need to be inundated with emails and calls about what she and her staff did to this poor woman and her dog Angel and the other poor cats and dogs in her care.
Angel's family is grief-stricken and ACC needs to answer for what happened, along with all their other malpractices such as :
Medical-- dogs/cats wallow in unsanitary cages, not being treated for medical issues.
Pain Med - do not administer pain med, before these pour souls GET THE INJECTION.
Employees - cut back on employees in areas that are critical to the care and protection of animals.
Please take a brief moment. Contact Charlene Pedrolie by email at : http://ssomail.charter.net/do/redirect?url=http%253A%252F%252Fus.mc357.mail.yahoo.com%252Fmc%252Fcompose%253Fto%253DCpedrolie%2540nycacc.org. Voice your anger and disapproval at what happened to Angel and help us try to stop the ACC
mismanagement madness. Many of you have asked for our help in the past. Now we need yours. There's strength in numbers-- the more emails Charlene Pedrolie gets the better our case .
Please cross-post for Angel, her grieving family and for New York rescuers who need to get the message about Angel's demise, and those of other animals, at the hands of NY ACC.

Collie,Lost-then found & euthanized in 4 hours (NY ANIMAL CARE & CONTROL BROOKLYN SHLTR)

I am so sick over Angel. Her owner had to be taken to the hospital. She is inconsolable. We are trying to get media coverage and tage a demonstration. ACC is a god-awful place, a house of horror for the animals. Below is a letter that a friend just wrote to the head of this Animal Care and Control facility.

Ms. Pedrolie:
I am outraged and saddened to hear about the 93-year-old woman's 13-year-old-collie, Angel, who was lost yesterday and euthanized at your facility 4 hours later. Why was this dog not held the mandatory 72 hours? Why was no efffort made to see if the Angel had been reported lost? How sad for this woman to lose her dog of 13 years because of incompetence on the part of New York's Animal Care and Control facility employees. How sad that Angel had to die alone and frightened for no reason. And is it true Angel and all the animals killed there do not receive pain medication before being "euthanized"?
Additionally, the reports of the general care of animals in your facility is troubling to say the least. These animals deserve medical care and sanitary conditions. If you and your staff are unable to provide humane care you should find other employment and let people who truly care about the animals take control.

Hopefully Angel's death will not be in vain and necessary changes will be made immediately.

Sincerely,
Leanne F
