A Good Place To Start

Obviously this is one of those jobs that was filled with some body's friend or relative. We probably have someone with a degree in economics or a PHD in education, but no one to clean out the cages and feed and water the animals.This is like part of the mandate set for Mayor Wharton. His tenure will be judged over the next eighteen months based on how well he cleans up the trash left behind by the previous administration. It's a good place to start.

This is funny. You mean after +17 years of the Herenton administration we raid the dog pound. That's real political courage in action.

Not corageous, just one of those things that needed to be taken care of.

Candlelight vigil at animal shelter to honor abused dogs
By Hank Dudding

Local animal rights advocates plan to hold a candlelight vigil Thursday night in honor of the animals at the City of Memphis Animal Shelter.

Animal shelter search warrant
The vigil follows the publication of photos in the news media of puppy No. 99287, a pit bull-lab mix that starved to death at the shelter last month.

“You can’t see something like this and not honor the victims,” said animal-rights advocate Diane McManus, who’s helping organize the vigil. “We just felt that we needed to come together and say, ‘This is not right. This isn’t the way it’s supposed to be.’ “

The vigil will begin at the animal shelter at 3456 Tchulahoma at 6 p.m.

Deputies with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office raided the shelter last week after complaints that animals were being mistreated.

Deputies seized 17 boxes of documents, four computers, six CDs or DVDs, and empty dog-food bags, according to a search warrant.

The warrant stated there was probable cause to believe laws were being violated by city animal services administrator Ernest Alexander and shelter employees.

Alexander and the shelter employees remain on the job while Memphis Mayor A C Wharton awaits the results of an internal investigation later this week, Wharton said Tuesday.

Deputies are still sifting through the evidence and won’t present an investigative report to the Shelby County District Attorney General’s Office for several weeks, sheriff’s office spokesman Steve Shular said today.

“We don’t want to rush this investigation because of the attention that’s been focused on it,” he said. “We want the information we present to the D.A. to … paint a complete and clear picture of the conditions we observed at the animal shelter.”
