Shelter management change?

The county commissioners plan to take a more critical look at the United Animal Coalition’s management of the embattled Guilford County Animal Shelter and may consider bids from other organizations to run the shelter.

That would make sense. If the United Animal Coalition deserves to keep the contract, which it has held since 1998, so be it.

But it shouldn’t be a foregone conclusion.

Meanwhile,it's unfortunate that local animal lovers don't seem to love one another very much. There's often more scratching and clawing among these feuding human beings than the four-legged objects of their affection.

It's a hard job running an animal shelter, especially in Guilford County. The United Animal Coalition isn't perfect, but we've dealt them a bad hand around with chronic animal overpopulaton and our irresponsible treatment of our pets.

The bottom line is that no matter how big the challenge is that they face their incompetence can't be tolerated! I've seen first hand the way they treat volunteers and trust me it is not good. Plus this malarkey they keep feeding the N & R about why they won't work with rescue organizations because it hurts revenue. That really steams me! It has to be about the animal’s well being, not about their bottom line. If I only knew that fact alone, it would be enough for me to cry about their gross mismanagement

All the more reason for the community to rally rather than splinter over this issue.
And, as a I said, if somebody can do a better job than the UAC, they should have a shot.
