Lehigh Co. Humane blames others for their murder of thousands...
---------------------------------In reply to Lehigh County Humane Society's verbal attack on caring people who want the insanity at their shelter to stop.......
--------------------

Disruptions and Interference of zealots?
Okay, Lehigh County Humane Society is now ranked up there with my top ten "best of the insane." They've recently paid someone to write a statement on their website which focuses on blaming everyone else for their slaughter of thousands of homeless animals.
They spew out lies to deceive the public into believing they really do deserve to be on that high pedestal they paid so much for with public donations.
After the Lehigh County Commissioners recently acted humanely and compassionately by refusing to give the shelter any more money, Connie and Bruce Fritch, shelter 'owner's' freaked out. Now how, they thought, are they going to keep running a phony animal sanctuary while still convincing the public they love animals?
What a conundrum....
Lehigh County Humane Society (Or, more appropriately, death camp on Dixon Street) takes in approximately 6,000 animals per year. They kill approximately 5,000 of those animals, which leaves only 1,000 that either found homes or were reunited with their owners. Not a very impressive statistic for all the great things the Fritch's claim they do, is it...
The shelter has a 2 million (plus) dollar bank account and yet begs for donations of a digital camera so their investigators can do proper investigations. They have no email listed on their website to contact them about animals (something they can have a volunteer do with a free web server), and they barely lift a finger to help the homeless animals in their facility find homes. IN FACT, they mostly go out of their way to make it difficult for people to adopt - just ask anyone who has tried..
One couple reported they were refused a dog after their entire family fell in love with him and they were accepted for adoption.
They visited this dog for weeks at the shelter. They drove almost an hour everyday bringing the dog toys and treats and watched their children play with the dog and walk him - they all couldn't wait to bring their newest family member home. The were accepted for adoption but kept being told they had to wait, each day it was another reason and excuse. Finally, Connie Fritch told this family they could not have their dog. Fritch refused phone calls from this family, and ignored their cries and pleas for a reason. Only Connie knows what happened to this poor dog. But the rest of us can speculate he didn't make it out alive. It seems the more interest in a dog, the less chance one has of actually adopting the dog.. Crazy as that sounds - it's becoming increasinly true from personal accounts and experiences of people.
Other stories like this one are piling up in a heap of evidence. Animals mysteriously disappear at this shelter and some might never even make it to the adoption floor ...only to the back room where the killing takes place. Another reported atrocity at this shelter is the false sense they give the public of animals being adopted. Cards outside some cages are marked "Adopted" when the reality is these animals are slated to be killed either that night or early the next morning.
And many reports are coming in testifying that lost dogs with actively searching owners are being destroyed at the shelter and then management instructing employees to lie about it. Imagine ....someone looking for their lost dog - contacting the shelter, putting up lost signs IN the shelter and then having that lost dog being killed while the owners are being lied to about the animal being at the shelter. WOW. If that isn't a crime, I don't know what is.
Bottom line is this shelter needs new management and new directors. Bruce Fritch is barely functioning in any capacity yet he continues to rant about not losing his right to kill animals.. Connie Fritch runs the shelter in a manner, I would consider, let's see.... Gestapo? Just ask any previous employee or volunteer of the shelter...I'm not making this up - ask them.
This shelter has done nothing but blame others for their own lack of compassion and humane work. Employees have consistently come forward with horror stories about how they kill animals with heartstick (a jab of lethal injection to their hearts. The lucky ones die quickly but those who are terrified and fight to get free only end up struggling to breath while thrown on the cold floor to die painfully in their euthanasia room)
One employee witnessed another employee throwing a kitten against the wall in the 'back room" where they kill animals after jabbing the little baby with Heartstick. Complaints were made to management, but nothing was done. The abuser was eventually fired but only after he got violent with another human...never mind what he did to potentially hundreds of thousands of innocent animals.
Call and ask them, if you don't believe me - ask to see a euthanasia room or the 'back room’. Employees that kill animals don't even have training in compassionate euthanasia - they are shown how to do it by a board member and then left on their own to jab and kill.
Once a former employee was accidentally stuck with a euthanasia needle. Shelter management didn't know what to do - they had no emergency kit - no posted information about safety procedures - nothing! The only concern of management was that nobody find out. They told this employee to just sit down and wait until they could figure out what to do. Can you imagine!
Another time, while an inspection was being done, a complete logbook of euthanasia records was mysteriously missing - never to be found. Can we all think about why that might have happened? Was it ever found? What was in those records or NOT in those records that they didn't want an inspector to uncover?
These are all crimes and the Fritch's should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
The Fritch's can blame and point the finger at anyone they like but the truth remains the same - animals at this shelter are being abused and documents and records are missing or being destroyed. Employees are not following guidelines that are written in the shelter's mission statement. They are not living up to their mission as a humane society and non-profit charitable organization.
They are negligent in their mission and have deceived the supporting public and the animals all these years. Isn't it time they paid for their crimes and we let the animals finally have a second chance at life?
Please contact your local representatives, senators, dept of agriculture, and state officials and beg them to do something. Contact the Attorney Generals office and beg them to investigate.
