Shelter for animals is inhumane, group says

Decatur Daily Democrat:

A group of area residents met with the Adams County Commissioners Tuesday regarding concerns they have with the Adams County Animal Shelter.

Joanna Stanley, along with her husband Joe, and two women who live in the count, brought concerns regarding the number of animals, particularly cats, being euthanized in Adams County, as well as alleged inhumane conditions in which the animals are kept.

The Stanleys stated that they have adopted several cats from the local shelter in an effort to decrease the number being euthanized.

Mrs. Stanley told commissioners that she had recently contacted the shelter regarding two Angora cats that were up for adoption, asking the shelter to hold the cats until she was able to pick them up.
