Hundreds of animals have senselessly been euthanized for NO REASON at The San Bernardino Animal Shelter. FIFTY ONE dogs last month alone!!!! These dogs were not even given a chance- they were not sick, they didn't have aggression issues, they were all healthy, happy dogs when they came into the shelter.
This shelter is run by The San Bernardino Police Department, they do NOTHING to adopt dogs out or work with rescues- it is a literal slaughterhouse. In fact, they put the one employee (Jennifer Van Ness) who helped with rescues on administrative leave FOR NO REASON AT ALL. In addition, they allow no beds or blankets which is why a dog FROZE TO DEATH in her kennel at the San Bernardino Shelter last month. She came in to the shelter wearing a pink sweater which was immediately removed so she slowly froze to death- FROZE TO DEATH.
The manager of this slaughterhouse, Lt Frank Macomber has a long history of animal abuse and is now responsible for running a shelter and for the death of all these animals. Macomber needs to be fired and never be allowed to work with animals AGAIN. Rescues have offered thousands of dollars in blankets, he has turned them all away.
An even bigger part of this story is how Mayor John Valdivia has done NOTHING to remedy the situation. He has received thousands of calls and emails and DOES NOTHING. He is a disgrace to the community and needs to be held accountable for his city's shelter. He has posted LIES on Instagram claiming the shelter is doing a great job and ignores the countless and senseless deaths- mysterious deaths, lack of care, lack of warmth, needless euthanizing (even when there is room at the shelter)- he allows it all, and knows about it all.
BOTTOM LINE, WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION- Macomber needs to be removed but this is all at the hands of Mayor John Valdivia who has done NOTHING. He is posting false information and needs to be held accountable. Please tag @mayorjvaldivia. Please email mayor@sbcity.org. Or call him 909-384-5133 or 909-384-7272.
Please call the shelter and ask Macomber why he is senselessly killing animals 909-384-1304
