A California No-K*ll Animal Shelter Did the Opposite to Hundreds of Dogs

A no -kill animal shelter was just found with a mass grave.Investigators in Northern California just found the remains of 117 dogs with many appearing to have gunshot wounds at Miranda's Rescue Animal Sanctuary.And you actually had Miranda's Rescue coming under scrutiny after animal rights activist, Jennifer Raymond, decided to look into it after hearing rumors about cruelty at the facility for years.She tried to get documents and local authorities to intervene, but they ignored her.And so she actually bought a neighboring property to watch the rescue and then one day noticed a massive pile of dirt.And that's when she said, and had decided to break the law.

So she and another activist, they trespassed onto the property and dug up the remains of eight dogs with what appeared to be bullet wounds to their heads.And so she took them to the police who then decided to open an investigation for fraud and animal cruelty and the disappearance of about 730 animals.With an investigators using ground penetrating radar, locating burial sites and excavating 117 intact canine remains.Then also finding 21 canine skulls, hundreds of additional bones, six loose microchips and more than 600 dog collars.With investigators saying that they found an area inside a barn where they believe many of the dogs may have been killed.

All while, the shelter described itself as a no -kill rescue and had accepted hundreds of dogs from both private owners and other shelters over the years.Most of the time, it involved a surrender fee of $500 to thousands of dollars, which isn't uncommon in the industry, and it was meant to cover the costs of sheltering the pets.So of course, kind of unneeded if you're gonna go on a mass Christie gnome spree.The founder of the shelter, Shannon Miranda, they publicly denied wrongdoing.He claims that he reported every euthanasia case and that it only occurred in rare cases involving terminal illness or dangerous behavior.So like if it was a dog that killed other dogs or attacked people.

And actually, despite the name, no -kill shelters do actually actually euthanize on occasions with stuff like this.They just don't do it to free up space.And so you have them asking the public not to rush to judgment while the investigation continues.And ultimately, we're gonna have to see what happens from here because so far, there are no criminal charges that have been filed.And the authorities say that identifying the dogs and reviewing the evidence, it could take considerable time.So for now, let me know your thoughts.
