Broken Baltimore: Dog Pound Shutdown

Does anything run right in this town?

Seems like the Baltimore City owned, but privately run animal shelter is shutdown due to an outbreak of the deadly parvo disease. None of the over 300 animals present are allowed to leave and no new animals are being accepted or taken in.

Although animal shelther Executive Director Jennifer Mead-Brause said it's one of the most common infectious diseases dogs can have, does this explain an outbreak at the shelter? Friends of mine who run a municipal animal shelter in a major city, with lots of experience in the animal business, tell me outbreaks are highly preventable. Since the disease is common, there are well established industry procedures to prevent this very sort of thing.

They say shelters normally take in sick animals all the time without putting the entire shelter population at risk. When proper procedure is followed, sick animals are isolated. I'm told inoculating all incoming animals before they are introduced to the general population, along with proper shelter cleaning and hygiene procedures prevents the spread of parvo and other animal diseases.

MESSAGE TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT/INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES

To all those who willfully, deliberately and routinely violate the civil rights of law abiding American Citizens; Yes, you're powerful. Sure, you're everywhere. But this is still America, and the Constitution of the United States Of America still reigns supreme as the law of the land. The Baltimore Spectator will vigorously and aggressively defend against any and all attempts at spying and suppression. Let it be known to all that we are already aware of the regular monitoring and shadowing attempts. There is nothing to hide, but cross the line and there will be hell to pay.

In the end, efforts to impinge upon the freedoms of the people will ultimately fail. Some of us may get taken out in the ongoing battle for true and lasting freedom, but as I've said many times before, and will say till the day I die or get taken out by you goons, THERE ARE MORE OF US, THAN THERE ARE OF YOU.
