We the undersigned are appalled at the handling of a little ill Chihuahua which resulted in her cruel death a few months ago. The pictures speak for themselves and show the cruelty.
The disgusting animal cruelty that is being undertaken on a daily basis towards the innocent shelter animals in your care will NOT be tolerated anymore by the public. It's time now for MCACC to become a more humane place for the animals that sadly end up coming through your doors.
HEARTSTICKING must END and if the animals can't have new and kind homes found for them, then if they must sadly die ...EBI (Euthanazia -by- injection) must be the only procedure undertaken by a qualified Technician.
We demand that RODRIGO SILVA is suspended whilst he is investigated for animal cruelty and negligence, and that any/ all employees that have been found to have acted cruelly towards the shelter animals in their daily roles there at MCACC are sacked immediately.
Sincerely..

Protest Animal Cruelty at MCACC (Animal Control)..
The abuses at Maricopa County Animal Care & Control (MCACC) in Phoenix have been going on long enough.

The abuse and murder of the chihuahua at MCACC has lit the fire under all the good people in this nation, to prompt them to speak out – to truly be a voice for the voiceless…

The chihuahua in the photo was one of the thousands of dogs that have been abused, subjected to cruelty that would've caused a regular citizen to have had charges filed against them; neglected; have gone mysteriously missing; been brutally murdered; and more.

This little girl was choked and abused with this catchpole (wire noose attached to a pole), all because she was scared out of her mind. She lived her last hours in utter fear..Just hours after this photo was taken, she was dragged from her cell into the kill room, and brutally murdered by heart stick.

Enough is enough! It's time to finally bring our voices together, and speak up LOUD, for the animals suffering inside of Maricopa County Animal Control (MCACC).
The one thing MCACC hates is bad publicity, and to be exposed. They have the public fooled that "they haven't killed any healthy or adoptable animal since 2005". It's time we stand up and tell the truth about what really goes on inside MCACC.
We will hold our protest on the public sidewalk in front of MCACC *EAST*. We will have protest signs to hold, and we will hand out fliers to the public, which will inform the public what really goes on when they dump their animal off at MCACC. We will also have information for them regarding spay/neuter, and free clinics.
Please be pro-active, and JOIN US.
Help be the voice for the dogs, and cats, inside Mcacc that are greatly suffering...and where half of them don't make it out alive. Like Angel, who is the chihuahua in the profile picture on our page, www.facebook.com/stoptheabuseatmaricopacountyanimalcontrol Angel was the chihuahua who was choked with the catchpole, and murdered just one day on the euthanasia list.
Stand up, and speak out with us, at:
MCACC EAST - 2630 West 8th Street
Mesa, AZ 85201
on Saturday, December 8th, 2012 at 1pm (time subject to change).
