Waveland Animal Shelter Under Investigation

The Waveland Animal Shelter is under investigation. The advocacy group "In Defense of Animals" out of Grenada is looking into allegations of alleged animal abuse at the facility.

The group's chief investigator made a surprise visit to the Waveland Animal Shelter to investigate complaints that dogs and cats here are being neglected. The group says one dog with a head injury and another one with a serious hip injury have spent days at the Waveland Animal Shelter without medical care.

In Defense of Animals launched its investigation after receiving nine letters from volunteers who worked at the shelter right after the storm.

State laws give In Defense of Animals the authority to shutdown shelters not properly caring for animals. However, the investigator says she things the problems at the Waveland shelter can be corrected.

It's about time! Animal rescuers, who volunteered to help after Katrina, were appalled and heart broken over the treatment these poor animals were getting.

In Defense of Animals is the BEST! :toast: :woohoo: :bounce:
