In many articles and public information on the shelter, their almost 2 million dollar bank account figures brings up questions of why are so many animals dying when they have so much money just sitting in the bank.
During an interview I asked what happened to 95,000 earmarked spay/neuter and Alice Zunaut replied..."how do you know about that - um, it's in an account....."
Should this money be sitting in an account? Or should it be used to spay and neuter every possible pet in the valley?? Another shelter received the same bequest, in the same amount..guess what? They used their money for spay/neuter.
Should the shelter open its doors to spay/neuter any animal, regardless of whether the animal was adopted there or not?? I think yes, it should. Of course, in the eyes of Lehigh Co. Humane, this would drastically reduce the influx of animals and thereby reduce the their revenue.
It is a business, after all...isn't it Bruce Fritch....
Any thoughts??

The shelter I volunteer at costs $750,000 to run for a full year, this is a No Kill shelter, (oh and they do not recieve any goverment funding, only $5,000 is given by the county, the resy relies solely on donations) how are they getting away with not spending this money the way it is supposed to be spent. How is it that it costs a No Kill shelter about $1million less to run their shelter where they keep their animals around for as long as they need to be?
