PROTEST AGAINST GASTON AND THEIR INHUMANE CRUELTY TO ANIMALS<\/h2>\n

by Hilary Sontag<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\n
Please join me
\nin my protest against Gaston Animal Control. Even if you are not a
\nresident of North Carolina we all deplore the mistreatment and cruelty
\nto the animals at the Gaston Animal Control. The mishandling of these
\ncats is in direct defiance of the humanitarian guidelines introducted
\nand upheld by the HSUS (Humane Society of the United States). <\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Gaston
\n bases whether a cat\/kitty is labeled in their “remarks” based on when
\nthese cats arrive at Gaston animal control. Gaston is not a shelter,
\nGaston is animal control at it’s WORST. <\/strong> Newly arrived
\nkitties are permanenly branded with characteristics that are not
\nnecessarily accurate. A “feral cat” is gassed, an “agressive” cat is
\ngassed and many “shy” cats are never adopted and end up being euthanized
\n when indeed it has been found that many of these cats are not “feral”,
\nnot “agressive” and certainly not “shy”. THEY ARE TERRIFIED!<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Gaston decides that these cats and kittens are “unadoptable”, and completely ignores the fact that they are “scared out of their wits” <\/strong>
\n and under great stress from being dumped at this hostile animal
\ncontrol. This is not a shelter…it is animal control and abuse.
\nThese labels represent a death sentence–once cats are branded ‘too
\nthin’ ‘too shy’, etc., they are automatically scheduled for euthanasia.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Because
\n of this, many adoptable cats and kittens literally never see the light
\nof day, nor have a fair shot at exposure to possible adopters. Gaston’s
\n kill rate for cats and kittens is higher than 95 percent – meaning more
\n than 95 percent of all cats and kittens at the shelter are euthanized
\nno matter what.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here is a photograph that represents
\nbrutality and inhumane handling of an animal. This is one of the worst
\nthings that we all have seen in regard to animal cruelty at a shelter or
\n animal control facility. There are no words to describe this other
\nthan horrible, inhumane, barbaric, cruel, heartbreaking, gut-wrenching,
\ndespicable, and totally unacceptable. Ferrel cats are not sedated.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When
\n you look at this cat’s experession, there is nothing but terror. Cat’s
\n have a keen sense of smell and they smell death and that is why the
\ncats that have been rescued from Gaston take much longer than most
\nrescued cats to rehabilitate…… because they have been subjected to the worst kind of animal abuse imaginable.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Please join me in protest against Gaston Animal Control. Share\/crosspost far and wide. <\/div>\n
