Milwaukee Animal Control (MADACC) Declines Training On Saving Lives

Bill Bruce, Director of Calgary Animal Services hosted an educational conference yesterday, 3/31/11 in Madison. He decreased kill rates by implementing progressive practices in his shelter. In 2009 Calgary Animal Services killed 203 dogs and 188 cats due to severe behavior or health problems. In 2009 Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control  Commission ( MADACC) killed 1840 dogs and 4363 cats. All MADACC supervisors were invited to attend this free conference which included free dinner and gas for travel. NO ONE from MADACC attended! With a kill rate as high as they have it is disturbing to see they have absolutely no urgency or interest in saving more lives. Since 1999 our taxes have been funding killing through the inadequate management of MADACC. Killing perfectly healthy and adoptable animals does not reflect the values of our community. Speak up and tell MADACC to stop the killing. Call them, write them, visit them! There is power in all of us, the power to initiate change.
