PITTSBURGH, Pa. —The director of the Western Pennsylvania Humane Society has been placed on paid administrative leave following a petition calling for her removal amid a controversy over her alleged purchase of a collie.
The petition on change.org supported by more than 900 people, accuses Joy Braunstein of paying $1000 to a breeder for a collie from "Carter Collies" in North Carolina.
"If you are the director of an animal shelter you should not be buying an animal of any kind from a breeder. Shame on her," wrote one supporter of the petition.
Another poster went even deeper.
"Joy Braunstein, you are a disgrace to the rescue community… and should be removed from your position effective immediately. Paying $1000 to a breeder when you are … going over a list of dogs to decide whether or not you will euthanize them is a complete conflict of interest," they wrote.

She chose to pay for a purebred collie. He right. Yes, there are wonderful mutts and rescues, but she wanted a purebred collie.
Western Pennsylvania Humane Society is a no kill shelter, so euthanasia isn't applicable.
A bunch of trifling people who have no life made an issue of this.
