Unfortunately, jabber, it's not necessarily the employees' fault. Management seems to be at fault here. Those who work the 'front lines' in organizations like this are more prone to suffer 'burnout' and either quit or stop caring. I know I couldn't work the front line where I work, and I admire those who can. Our mission is to find good homes for all the animals we receive if they are adoptable. Unfortunately, some of the animals turned in to us are not adoptable because of temperament or disease and have to be euthanized. It hurts my heart when I hear about abuse and abandonment of animals through no fault of their own. But we have success stories every day; I don't think any of us who work in animal welfare could keep going if we didn't see the animals entrusted to our care find good, loving homes.

The idea of working at the SPCA or for a vet has crossed my mind. And those who do it such as yourself should be commended. I'm too soft-hearted; I'd want to bring them all home. The lady investigating this horrific SPCA story, said many animals were put down in an inhumane way. I found that so sad. She was even crying when trying to give a report on her findings. I know the SPCA in our county is well-respected. Many residents here give donations to a charity they call, "Yelp 4 Help"; these funds are used to provide medical care. People behind this focus do wonderful things, giving animals a 2nd chance at a good life!

yonuh,
They did fire the Exec. Director of that SPCA. If society cannot count on the SPCA to have compassion on animals, it's really sad.
