Euthanasia By Shooting In Head, And Its Legal? And What About The Six Unexplained Dog Deaths?

via Alaska Public Radio Network:

(This is an audio tape and you must listen to it. The quality is good, but the story is bad.)

Dillingham Police Investigating Dog Deaths

The tape is not that long, but it does state clearly that the method they use of euthanizing dogs is to shoot them in the head, at the landfill.  The whole thing is bad enough but must those dogs must be panicked at the end? This, on top of the shelter being investigated for the unexplained deaths of six dogs there -- the purpose of the audio tape on public radio to begin with. Necropsies are being conducted. I will report on more as I find it.

If you feel this needs to change, as I do, please make a few phone calls today. Always be courteous. The fact that people will begin calling from all over is enough of a shock; let's not add to it by being less-than-professional.

Here is where to make some polite noise:  (please be courteous)
