I think that when people think of animal shelters in this area they tend to think of the WI Humane Society and the animals who end up at animal control are overlooked by many.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832387493738769350.post-47201116925348088582012-12-06T14:02:35.280-06:002012-12-06T14:02:35.280-06:00I FEEL FOR THESE ADORABLE DOGS BEING PUT TO SLEEP,...I FEEL FOR THESE ADORABLE DOGS BEING PUT TO SLEEP, ALL BECAUSE OF THIS John Macdowell!!!

How many animals have had this fate at Madacc thru the years? I"m afraid to know. Wonderful rescues wanting to save these innocent souls, yet Madacc kills them instead. In New York, they passed a law called Oreo's Law because the same thing was happening there, maybe WI should do the same. Thank you for writing this, Milwaukee needs to realize what horrid things are going on at Madacc.

Some of it is hard to read, but I know it will help open more eyes to the problems in not only this shelter but the system as a whole.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963395707570608596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832387493738769350.post-62567789439542369852012-12-06T07:38:36.545-06:002012-12-06T07:38:36.545-06:00Having read the previous blog entry about the inco...Having read the previous blog entry about the incompentant vet care, I find it interesting that apparently a dog with a broken back can sit in pain for days and that is not considered a medical reason to be euthanized, but a kitten with a deformed, but healed leg is?? It just doesn't make sense ...Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832387493738769350.post-38121344946812327092012-12-06T02:11:26.568-06:002012-12-06T02:11:26.568-06:00I used to work there.

She was perfectly healthy despite a paw/leg deformity from an old injury. This was healed and caused her no pain or discomfort, it was purely cosmetic. I placed a hold on her record that I was interested in fostering her. A hold means that an animal should not be euthanized/killed without the hold removed by following up with whatever is in the animals file or talking to a supervisor. On 7/10/12 I came in to work to see that she was not in her cage. A few rescue partners came in that same day, I was excited that one must have took her! I immediately went to find her record to see which agency took her. What I saw horrified me, she was killed that morning. NO ONE CALLED ME! She was added to the euth list the night of 7/9/12 where this hold was overlooked, in the morning the kennel worker had a list of animals to bring back to the euth room from the area they tend to. On this list are all the applicable notes, including the HOLD and that I was interested in fostering. The third and final step was the euthanasia technician who must look at the list (which includes the HOLD and note I was interested in fostering) before personally killing her. How on this earth can this happen? There were three steps this could have been corrected, it is blatantly obvious on these lists, no way it could not be seen unless one was illiterate. In the PTS box on her record the reason states MNRX, that basically means medical, unable to be treated. How does a cosmetically deformed leg need treatment, let alone being so severe that there is no treatment for it that she must be killed! When this was brought to the attention of the ED at the time, Melanie Sobel nothing was done. Melanie was ,but the staff members involved in this heinous mistake were not terminated or at the very least disciplined. There was no corrective action taken to prevent this type of "error" from happening in the future, like creating standard operating procedures or even writing a lazy memo. It was overlooked and everyone turned their heads. Unfortunately this is one of many examples I have, it just happens to be the most memorable and traumatic one for me.
