AUDIT THE POUND was created in January 2013, after a peaceful protest, reported by Forrest Sanders of WSMV Channel 4 News, and was organized in hopes of encouraging a high kill shelter in Manchester, TN into a safer haven for lost or unwanted animals. Rescuers were banned from this facility after their repeated complaints, one of which was when a puppy was literally frozen to the concrete after cages were hosed down in freezing temperatures without even displaying the human compassion of removing the animals first. More disturbing, an elderly blind black lab, a family member of a local citizen, was shot to death at this facility, and unceremoniously tossed into a dumpster as if only trash, documented and reported on by WTVF News Channel 5.
Since the protest in January, local rescuers attending the rally have been "punished" for their participation in the event. The latest being the possible poisoning, as suggested by two veterinarians, of a rescue dog picked up from this facility to be delivered to a forever home. Autopsy results are being performed, and will be released within weeks. Are there actually those who walk amongst us so heartless and cruel? To punish the innocent in order to enjoy a perverted sense of revenge? We will soon know the answer.
My wife, Susan, and I feel an obligation to finish what has begun . We vow to pursue this endeavor until the Coffee County Animal Control facility is thoroughly investigated and audited by the office of the Governor of Tennessee. Please sign and share the related petition and help all involved to bring justice to those who cannot speak for themselves. One county at a time, one state at a time.
Peace to you and yours,
