COUNTY SHELTER KILL STATS RISING DRAMATICALLY

A few days ago I posted the 2006 County kill rates for cats: 78% and another 3-4% died in shelter.

Two years later the numbers are much worse. The following 2008 numbers are from Brad Jensen of sheltertrak.com. LA County has slipped into hell.

In 2008, 80% were killed at County and another 6-7% died in the shelter or were "lost" (other). Of the 40,975 cats impounded (alive), only 4,603 were adopted, or 11%.

These statistics are from animal records provide by LACDACC.

NOW JOE RAMIREZ AND VECTOR CONTROL WANTS TO ADD TO THAT EXTREME DEATH TOLL. I AM CERTAIN MAYEDA'S SHELTERS ARE BY FAR THE WORST LARGE SHELTER SYSTEM IN THE COUNTY.

One wonders how things can possibly be getting worse at County, but they are.
