Fresno Homeless companion animals seized and taken to animal 'shelter" with a kill rate of over 70 percent. I wonder how long they will survive before being murdered by the heartless bastards that run this city.

In the last 3 weeks Fresno city officials have been destroying homeless encampments in the downtown area. They come in with multiple garbage trucks and bulldozers at 7am and tell folks to pack up and leave. One really disturbing thing they do is when folks are busy trying to save all of their worldly belongings Animal Control and Undercover Police Officers round up the companion animals of the homeless. These animals are then taken to the local SPCA shelter which has a kill rate of over 70%. Talk about a bunch of heartless bastards.

Most cities find shelter for the homeless before they tear down their encampments.
Fresno even received Federal dollar but they gave it to developer to built about 100 unites with thousands are needed. (yes Fresno has corruption.. but why doesn't the Feds or CA AG do something about it)

1. There is NOTHING inappropriate about holding that dog that way.

It actually does a bit more to keep the dog comfy than it does to keep the guy safe from a bite, so it's not optimal. But that dog is NOT his pet. It doesn't know him. He could suffer life-altering injuries by holding it like you and I would our own pets.

Foolish comments like yours about this sort of thing make me

Yes, the City of Fresno could do better.. instead they choose to spend tax dollars in harassing and abusing the homeless then in helping them.

6. For the love of all that's holy, help find homes for *people*.

Then fools like those won't have a target for their "charity".
