this is William from NC reading the story of animal abuse,want my input?each one that works at this site that abuses animals more so probably your kids as well should be lined up in front of a firing squad.your sick and disgusting to be called a human being.

I believe in “what goes around, comes around” and that God sees everything and will deal with things in his own way!

I blieve in “what goes around, comes around” and that GOD SEES EVERYTHING and has his own way of dealing with this!!!!

i’m assuming most of the people reading this aren’t familiar w/ the town of hempstead so let me fill you in. it is the most corrupt government in all of new york, hands down. the animal shelter serves as a patronage mill for republican committee people’s family members. these people have zero qualifications to work at an animal shelter. in fact, the shelter “employs” 26 full time employees and has a budget of 7 million dollars, compared to the same size shelter out in brookhaven being run more efficiently for 1.2 million dollars. this is typical business as usual in the town of hempstead where cemetery directors have no qualifications, bury bodies in wrong plots and get reassigned.

as for the allegations of abuse, it is not the volunteers who are accused but shelter employees. in fact, the volunteers have been banned from the premises in order to prevent them from further shedding light on horrible conditions the animals were kept it.

supervisor murray and her republican cronies are to blame for instilling a culture of patronage and zero accountability.

I went there to look for a dog for my mom-it is horrible in there poor dogs just sit and bark in cement cages -it looks like a prison cell! only the dogs didnt do anything wrong!!! when i asked about one dog the people working there barely looked up to answer my question.

@Was 21 – You are so right. If they can bleach and torture and animal they can certainly torture and murder another person. They should be watched VERY carefully. What is our society becoming that children are being thrown off balconies and people are torturing people and animals. What is going on??

I don’t have all the facts but what I do know as someone who has rescued animals and given them forever homes, this makes me sick on all levels. Somewhere society had a glitch in brain functioning and it is contagious…..”in my backyard”. I t happens everywhere and not just to animals. I lived in a county where a man had built a shelter and was kidnapping women and torturing them for two decades. I don’t get it. I just can’t wrap my head around it. I lost my job because i called into work as a stray cat/kitten was giving birth on my porch in the winter. My boss said to just leave them alone nature is taking its course. I could see the newborns sticking to the floorboards on the porch because of the cold and the body heat. There are only certain people who understand why my animals are my children.

its horrible to abuse animals and bleach that poor dog and starve the cats and dogs , why is not anyone doing something about this? not to let rescue people in there is cause they are trying to hide torturing these cats and dogs . WE PAY TAXS we should be making them allow them to go in not right.

I think the animals need a swift kick in the liver

This is terrible but among all the other abuses you people commit against animals. I say free the animals you slave masters who think an animal is a toy for you to imprison its mind and body by keeping it trapped in a home. Animals are free, not pets to satisfy your childish desires and infantile selfishness

An history of animal abuse, it seems to me, is usually also in the history of someone who tortures humans and eventually murders them. These animal abusers should be watched carefully from now on to preclude their inevitable progress to human abuse.

i’ll bleach the dude who did that to the dog.

Shelters need to be staffed by compassionate people not those that need a job. People who care get things done; those that don’t just want to see empty cages. They also should fund TNR and reduce the number of cats coming into shelters. Can’t believe this happens in America…………..

SICK, SICK, SICK
THEY SHOULD BE PUT IN JAIL, IN STRICT FORMATION-WITH MANAGER IN FRONT

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING
I WOULD PERSONALLY HELD RESPONSIBLE THE MANAGEMENT – IN THE FIRST PLACE- BY DEFINITION, MANAGER MEANS TO MANAGE WHATEVER HUMAN SADISTIC “ANIMALS” ARE UNDER YOUR DIRECT SUPERVISION
WHAT A SHAME

I agree with J Amiri…. punishment should fit the crime and management should be held just as accountable in these situations. It is frightening what is happening to our society. You don’t have to be an animal lover, but just leave them alone if you’re not. You don’t need to work with them, torture and kill them!

I find it hard to beleive that people who would give their time to care for animals
would abuse them. I smell a rat! How is the money used in this shelter? Why
is their no veterinarian on the staff? What is the average salary and what are
the job responsibilities and job requirements? Maybe the powers that be do not
want the volunteers having too much information.

why didn’t the officials see the condition of the animals? Wow this is heartbreaking.

Can they please print the names of the people accused of doing this? Sick Monsters!

Where is the Animal Liberation Front ???

I would do some things to those “volunteers” that would be far worse than anything they could possibly imagine.

They should have the same things done to them. Anyone who abuses someone or something weaker than himself or herself should no longer be considered human. Finally, who’s in charge of screening and hiring these monsters. This was clearly not an isolated incident which means that whatever was happening there was part of a culture of abuse. The people in charge should also be held fully accountable.

I’ll take a dog. Guaranteed it will have a loving, happy home for the rest of it’s life. BTW can I bleach that idiot to death?

the official at this shelter were the ones that should be blamed for not placing a camera in the shelter to check on these volunteers., as we live in such a sick society. i would have done it if i was in charge, shame on you

Come on man, can we please treat these animals with some god damn dignity?? What the hell is wrong with people these days?? Can we please give these animals a break??
