In this episode of the Animal Control Report, we discuss the intense and alarming situation surrounding the Danville Area Humane Society. Recently, the shelter had to close its doors due to security threats linked to its high euthanasia rates—80% for cats and 70% for dogs. Executive Director Paulette Dean explains that as an open admissions shelter, they accept all animals in need, which contributes to their high euthanasia rates. Despite an offer from Best Friends Animal Society to help them transition to a no-kill shelter, Dean and her team declined, prioritizing their mission to take in every animal.

We'll explore the implications of this decision, the backlash from Best Friends Animal Society’s "Danville Deserves Better" campaign, and the ensuing hate and threats directed at the shelter. We discuss the complexities of animal welfare, the challenges of managing open admissions shelters, and the ethical considerations in balancing animal care and community safety. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the front lines of animal control.
