A spokesman for the City of Sugar Land says it’s hard to tell what would’ve become of the dozens of animals put to sleep had proper protocol been carried out, and says they now have to work to regain the public’s trust.
”We determined that at least 38 dogs and cats had been euthanized at that facility since April,” said Sugar Land Spokesman, Doug Adolph.
”We immediately contacted the shelter manager and confirmed that that information was accurate,” Adolph said. ”It was never our decision,” one of the women said. “I trusted my higher-ups in believing everything that they told me.” ”At most, we would say, ‘Hey, this dog growled at me, and we just kind of made note of it,’” one of the women said.”We didn’t know it was against the policy,” one said.”Whether or not they prepped the animal, whether or not they cleaned up afterward, they’re required to report activity that is not consistent with policy and procedure and they didn’t do that,” Adolph said.
