issues: ABUSIVE CONDITIONS WITHIN ANIMAL SHELTERS: If you have information or have witnessed abusive or neglectful conditions at an animal shelter, we encourage you to first report your information to your local law enforcement agency (See "CRIMINAL ANIMAL ABUSE & NEGLECT" above). Second, contact the people or agencies who oversee the shelter and provide them with the your information. This is often the sheriff's department, city council, mayor or city manager. Photographs, video, and other evidence of the abusive conditions are helpful and persuasive. If the overseeing agency is non-responsive, consider circulating a petition demanding that the abusive conditions be immediately corrected. Consider enlisting the help of the local media (newspapers, radio and television stations) to publicize the situation. Remember, animals in these situations are wholly reliant on your voice to protect their interests. ANIMALS
