A Robeson County animal shelter that faced a lawsuit and state charges of inadequate veterinary care and overcrowded cat cages is facing new allegations.

The Fayetteville Observer reported Wednesday that officials are denying allegations that the shelter's staff has sent living dogs and cats to be dumped at a landfill.

Animal rights advocate Susan Barrett of Winston-Salem sued the shelter over its treatment of animals, but dropped the case after it made reforms. Barrett says live animals were found several times among the dead dumped at the landfill. She plans to present evidence supporting her claims at the next county commissioners meeting on Monday.

County Health Director Bill Smith said the dumping happened once and isn't a pattern.

Better dead than alive? Gotta save the planet.

"If you have a German shepherd or similar-sized dog, for example, its impact every year is exactly the same as driving a large car around"

Ya’ll need to import more Koreans.

Great. These are the people who will be tending to your grandmother's last days before too long.

I wonder if Tucker Carlson will call for the death penalty for those responsible...

The word “shelter” is really being abused these days. Dont care if it`s the SPCA or whatever. Am afraid the SPCA cares more about raising money to pay employee benefits, than it does about the animals.

In my area the SPCA is with the Teamsters union. The Teamsters are against volunteers.

I have a buddy that spent some time on the DMZ. He says that occasionally, he still gets a hankering for dog.

I believe him, the guy is completely humor-impaired.

We have way more cats and dogs then we need so killing them is no propblem. Just make sure they are dead before you dump them.

I’ll say!

I don’t know if you are familiar with Robseson County, but this is where the Lumbee “Indians” are from. They have been fighting the federal government for recognition for years.

Maybe they could open a Korean barbecue restaurant once they get their casino and kill two dogs with one stone.
