“Memphis
\nAnimal Shelter kills 16,000 pets each year. This is how some of those
\npets spend their final days in this life \u2013 being sprayed with a hose
\nwhile trapped in a cage.”<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Memphis Animal Shelter: It Gets the Hose Again<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

March 21, 2011<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n
I received this photo, captured via the Memphis Animal Shelter live webcams<\/a>, from a reader. The photo is from a Facebook album<\/a>
\nwith several more screengrabs showing the cleaning procedures at the
\nshelter on March 17. I decided to have a look at the shelter\u2019s webcams
\nmyself this morning and pull some shots for the blog:<\/strong><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Via the webcam, I watched this worker step from the main walkway into this side walkway as he continued his cleaning procedures with the hose.<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Note the number of empty kennels where dogs could be placed while their kennels are cleaned.<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I observed this worker step back off the main walkway, presumably to
\navoid backspray, before hosing down these cages. Unfortunately, the
\ndogs in the occupied cages had no place to escape the backspray. <\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again, the poor dogs in the cages below…<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I continued watching after this shot but did not observe the bottom cages being cleaned nor any dogs being moved around.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Memphis Animal Shelter kills 16,000 pets<\/a>
\neach year. This is how some of those pets spend their final days in
\nthis life \u2013 being sprayed with a hose while trapped in a cage.<\/strong><\/div>\n
While we know MAS director Matthew Pepper likes to dress up in a costume and dance<\/a> to <\/strong><\/div>\n
\u2018Who Let the Dogs Out\u2019 in the face of bad publicity, I think the pertinent question here is, <\/strong><\/div>\n
Who <\/strong>doesn\u2019t<\/strong> let the dogs out? The answer being, MAS staff. Two of the reasons for
\nkeeping a shelter clean are to minimize the spread of disease and
\nprovide a comfortable environment for the pets. Fail and fail. Can\u2019t
\nwe do better?<\/div>\n
