Local Animal Cruelty Involves Abandonment, Shelter Less Tethering, Humane Society Director Says

April is Prevention of Animal Cruelty Month, but the Worcester County Humane Society is always looking for ways to help local animals in distress.

Director Kenille Davies said during an April 2 interview that the major abuse cases in this area involve abandonment and lack of proper food and shelter.

Davies said the shelter, located at 12330 Eagles Nest Road in West Ocean City, takes in far more abandoned cats than dogs. Currently, there are 45 dogs and 100 cats at the shelter waiting for new homes. She calls owners who dump their cats off at the shelter overnight “cowards.”

Here comes that coward word again. Anybody that does something someone else does not agree with or likes automatically gets labelled a coward? I don't agree with it either, but it sure as hell beats the alternatives of what they could have done with unwanted pets.

And these 'cowards', as you label them, probably drop them off after hours so they will not encounter bigots like you. You expect people to come inside knowing they will have to deal with you or someone like you? You shouldn't even be up front dealing with people. You should be in the back with all the other unwanted creatures.
