This is a recent example of why i call for a regulatory body to oversee animal shelters. This is only one case.. there are sadly so many more stories.
FORREST CITY ANIMAL SHELTER...needs investigating.
This shelter has a history of cruelty..this incident is the latest. On MAY 30 ..a horrific incident occurred at the shelter After Hours. A DOGFIGHT ..one that should never have happened.
A gentle Labrador called Bozo was mauled so badly it led to his death, and several other dogs were badly bitten and are in Vet care.
WARNING...video and info is graphic.
FORREST CITY ANIMAL CONTROL...THIS IS YOUR SHAME!
WATCH THE VIDEO filmed May 31st 2010.

Millions of animals each year make their way through the doors of America's animal shelters.
Approximately 5,000 animal shelters operate in the United States. They are nonprofit agencies. Some of them are run by local governments' animal control services and others act as completely independent entities.
HOWEVER...There isn't a NATIONAL AGENCY that oversees animal welfare and animal shelters; the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and other nonprofit organizations that are devoted to animal welfare provide the funding and guidelines to help animal shelters operate effectively.
WE the undersigned: CALL for a NATIONAL AGENCY to be established to oversee all Animal Shelters , and make sure that they all comply with regulations and Humane guidelines.
Here is a link to the actioning group that will actively campaign for this to become a reality. U.S. National Animal Welfare/ Shelters Protection Agency (NAWSPA)-Alliance
