There is a link to a video, if you can stand to watch it, it shows some
pictures taken from the shelter. I have seen worse (puppy/kitten mills,
for example), but still.... they are the enforcers of the laws that they
are breaking!!!!!!!!

I can't watch that kind of stuff, but I know just how you feel. Dear Pam,
remember this !@#?!@# can't possibly reflect on you as a Hoosier, or a human
being.

I'm not going to the web site.

But attention to a situation can be good. The next town over from us
had a perfectly horrid animal shelter. Never got any money in the
budget, etc.

About the only way to get your dog or cat out if they got it was to
break in. Only risk of that was running into someone else who was
doing the same thing at the same time.

But the courts can come in handy when things get really bad, and the
voters can't always be counted on.

I'm not sure who sued who, but sue they did. And were awarded a
lovely new animal control facility with a reasonable guaranteed
budget.

The bad thing is, one county (!!!!) to the west of us (25~ miles!) has
NO animal control at all, the local shelter is all volunteer and calls
themselves the the Owen County Humane Society - shuts down every two
years for lack of funds... (27 counties in Indiana have no Animal
Control or shelter at all). And they're located right next to a major
river, and have been flooded more than once...

And this year, during their county fair, the sheriff SHOOTS a 'stray'
dog (it appeared after the June floods) that had been 'adopted' by a
local neighborhood (they pooled their funds, got him up top date on
shots and neutered - why they continued to let it run loose, is beyond
me) because some whack job at the fair said he "bit" (didn't break the
skin) her while she was trying to get him away from some goats (he was
trying to herd them, the dog was of that type, I think they were calling
it a Cataloona?), but she was probably sticking her hands in where they
didn't need to be, and had no experience with a dog of this type....

Its been a while and I'm only going by what I remember from the
newspaper. (and the local paper isn't exactly known for accuracy)

But as best I recall, the suit was against many of the rural counties
in California for failing to provide adequate animal control, and the
basis was in that the counties did get money from the state for
various expenses. And that while the use of those funds might be
somewhat discretionary, it wasn't THAT discretionary.

Kind of a carryover from the lawsuits fifteen years prior that got
some of the rural jails shut down and replaced with something that
couldn't be used to film a depression era movie.

Basically they used the blueprint from human rights groups that sued
for betters jails to sue for better animal detention facilities.

Once the shelter was upgraded from the sort of hell hole no one could
stomach getting near, it was possible to get volunteer help, etc to
improve the whole operation.

Indiana has no lock on mismanagement, incompetence or animal cruelty.
Sadly, this could happen anywhere.
