A brief review of the article you link to reveals that your rendition of this story is inexcusably false and misleading. Basically, you lay blame on the wrong organization.
Let's review. You start this thread with the following:It says exactly what I wrote, a month before the fatal attack that killed Kline the city passed a resolution banning the use of euthanasia for dangerous dogs
In reading your second link from the OP, there's no mention of "animal rights extremists" here "taking over local animal shelters which are taxpayer funded." Instead, it says:This is a topic that doesn’t get enough attention, how animal “rights” extremists have taken over local animal shelters which are taxpayer funded and used them as platforms to advance agendas like “no kill” policies which directly lead to often fatal harm to the public.
So it was the City Council, not the local animal shelter, and there's no mention of any organization being "taken over" by animal rights extremists.Spokane City Council passed an ordinance regulating euthanization laws at SCRAPS in Monday night's meeting. This comes after the shelter euthanized 14 dogs Wednesday.
Your first link goes to dogsbite.org, which has been criticized for publishing misleading or inaccurate information. A link within that article reveals that an employee who was fired from the animal shelter "after an argument" contacted the local news media claiming that dogs were being "executed." The shelter justified their actions by saying that the dogs were euthanized "because they were an untreatable threat. And that's a public safety risk," noting that "many of the dogs assessed had histories of dangerous bites and aggressive tendencies."
Just trying to get the story straight.
