Seattle Humane has a long-standing record of proper medical, behavior assessment and facility protocols for handling large numbers of animals. I believe they recently won an award. They have proper sanitation and isolation protocols in place to prevent the spread of infectious diseases among the animal population in their care.<\/p>\n
They excel at promoting multiple adoption events, network with the community on companion-animal awareness issues, and have the welfare of animals, not a political agenda, as their main focus.<\/p>\n
KCAC, with its ongoing issues in establishing and maintaining consistent protocols that benefit their facility, the animals it holds and the community it is supposed to serve, seems to be only able to focus on keeping the staff in place. Nobody wants to lose their job – I\u2019ve been through it, and so have a lot of others. But if the focus of KCAC has shifted so far off the mark of caring for the animals, then it is time for the animals to get a change of caretakers<\/p>\n
Let Seattle Humane give surrendered or stray companion animals the compassionate, professional and humane treatment that they deserve.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
