This very thing is going on at the Miami Dade County shelter right here in our city. Here is recent articles about the horrible situation here in Miami. I've been to this shelter many times and its always a sad experience to see those animals in cold cement cubicles, and it smells so bad in there. Very overcrowded and they give each dog about 7 days to be adopted then they're killed. There's a lot more going on in there than they will admit. I hope they boot out the Director.
