Tell Utah Mayor STOP Shooting and Running Over Animals with Trucks!

A Utah "shelter" that keeps orphaned pets 72 hours and after that time the pets are shot. If the shelter runs out of bullets animals are run-over by a truck and their bodies thrown in a sewage pit.

The mayor of the community that does this says it's efficient and cost-effective. But neighbors say the pets are not always dead when ther're thrown in the pit.

HINCKLEY, Utah - Residents in the small town of Hinckley, Utah are speaking out against the city's animal control policy. The mayor of Hinckley says after strays are held for 72 hours, they are shot. Critics call it an archaic and cruel form of animal control. Hinckley resident Suzanne Folsom said, "It's so sick and its so very very wrong." According to city officials and residents, the dogs and cats are taken to a fenced-in sewage pond on the outskirts of town, shot and their bodies left in an open pit.

Tamra Hanks says her property touches the site, and that cats wounded from bullets have crossed through her property, only to die a slow and painful death. Hanks said, "It's probably one of the worst things I've ever seen." As to the dogs in the massive grave, "They had collars on them. They were people's pets."
