LETTERS [Nov 2000]
From ANIMAL PEOPLE, November 2000:
Rochester
On page 8 of the September
200 edition of ANIMAL PEOPLE,
you erroneously attributed to
me the statement, “When you look
for donations, you look for the most
politically correct way to go. And
it’s not politically correct to kill animals.”
That was actually said by
Tom Shannon of Rochester Animal
Control, when he was asked by
Alan Morrell of the Rochester
Democrat & Chronicle about the
decision of the Humane Society of
Rochester & Monroe County not to
renew our long-term contract with
the city to do animal control.
Shannon was among the few Rochester
Animal Services staff kept by
the city when they began operating
animal control on July 1, 2000.
