Whistleblower: 5 Dogs Survived Euthanasia Attempts

I just received the following via e-mail from an Indiana Animal Welfare group I belong to. This happened only 25 miles from my home!

Gabby was euthanized & lived four days in a freezer
Target:
Robert M. Bridges, Mayor of the City of Rushville, In., The shelter director, town council
Created by:
Caroline and Bradley Watembach of Saving Furry Friends
This is Gabby.She was "euthed" on a Monday by lethal injection, however she was underdosed. On Friday, a shelter worker went to the freezer and found her STILL ALIVE!! - under other dead puppies. This is the the THIRD TIME this has happened. The mayor has been made aware of all three times and is not real concerned ( he was defeated in the election). The mayor told the shelter worker to have Gabby euthed again. She refused and Gabby is being sent to a rescue tomorrow. We are asking them to review and change their euthanasia practices/policies as they obviously are not working. Safeguards should be in place so that this does not EVER occur again. At a minimum someone should be double checking to be sure the animal does not have a heartbeat before it is thrown into the freezer.

What a heartless (insert bad word here) that Mayor is!
And to cancel the shelter's fundraiser too. Just downright cruel and spiteful! :evil:

I really hope karma pays him a visit. :twisted:

What a Horrible story!
Thanks for posting, Nita.

Also, friends, please don't forget to check out the "Justice for Jamie" page.
Jamie has literally put her career on the line to do what's right for Gabby and other dogs like her.

If you have an extra minute, perhaps put the petition in an e-mail and send it on to your canine loving friends.

It would be awesome if we could excede the "goal signature" !!
Thanks for considering!
I signed and forwarded it to several people.
