Should shelter employee be charged

[Catherine]

An employee of the Boulder City Animal Shelter euthanized 91 animals last year. The shelter only takes in 200 animals a year.
She has since been fired and under new management the shelter has euthanized 7 animals(for good reasons).

People are protesting and want her to be charged.

Just because she worked for an animal shelter, she should not be immune to prosecution for her behavior.

That's disgraceful sounds like she didn't even try socialise and rehome them.

She put down that woman's dog the day it was lost. Usually by law they have to hold an animal a minimum amount of time. They can't even rehome a dog until they have held it that long. I think it is three days, but I would have to check. She actually violated the law.

I wonder about something. She had a budget, a certain amount of money provided to her  to run the shelter. She didn't keep the animals or pay staff to keep the shelter open. So what did she do with the money that was provided to keep the shelter open?

I hope they can charge her. No one should get away with what she did.

Yes she should be charged, she had no business working for an animal shelter in the first place.

[Catherine]

At least if they charge her it should prevent her from ever working in another shelter. 

It just makes me feel sick when I think of the things that go on at some of these shelters. They need to make an example of her so that no one else ever does something like this again.

Maybe the people who had animals killed by her could actually sue her. That would send a strong message.

What a piece of crap of a woman to do such stuff to animals!

[Catherine]

It is shocking that it went on so long. Does no one oversee the running of a shelter. There should have been monthly reports that would have been a red flag. Did no one ask why the number of animal deaths was so high. Why did it take so long to stop her.

How terribly sad and awful. There does definitely need to be a proper investigation into what Ms Frazier did at that Shelter, to hopefully stop things like this happening in other places, or at least, provide a deterrent.

It is interesting how Boulder County officials have now submitted this to the DA. And that they 'changed course' (i.e. they didn't think it worthy of submission in the first instance?) That HAS to be as a result of public pressure, and probably the rally. Yes such a thing is a felony. People are learning that they cannot get away with sweeping animal abuse under the carpet any more. That is a good sign.

My heart goes out to all those dear Souls who were killed when they could have lived, if someone had just been willing to spend a little money on them/fundraise/work harder/do without their own selfish wants.

I am sure public pressure  is the reason why she is being investigated.  The more we protest animal abuse the more it is taken seriously.

It is just such a heartbreak that loving pets were killed when their families would have taken them home. It is hard to even think about a dogs last hours hoping his family would come. They did, but they were too late because the dog was killed right away.

She is a horrible person. She had to know that most of the animals were not strays. I am sure even the strays could have found homes. I wonder what other abuses take place in other shelters.  Is this an isolated incident or are there more people like her working in the shelter system.

This would be one good reason to volunteer at your local shelter. You could keep an eye on it and watch for anything wrong.
