Responding defensively, rather than accepting responsibility and holding themselves accountable, is never a good sign. Nor is it a professional, ethical way to address the problems which they have created for themselves and the animals whom they are failing. I will also reach out to them.
Thank you, Annoula! You’re absolutely right—accountability and transparency should be the priority. I appreciate you taking the time to reach out to them. The more voices speaking up for these animals, the harder it will be for SDHS to ignore the issue!
The thought of me sitting in an airconditioned room - with an animal boiling inside a hot tent down the street does not sit well with me. I sent an email to SDHS. Is there anything else I can do to make sure these animals in these lots are kept safe?
Thank you, Olivia! Your compassion is truly appreciated. Reaching out to SDHS is a great step. You can also help by spreading awareness, encouraging others to contact SDHS, and supporting local rescues that are stepping in where SDHS is falling short. Every voice makes a difference!
Oh yeah I have two local rescues I support. No more Humane Society for me. I know that SDHS is not all bad...But the safe lots bother me. I will ask SDHS if they are going to respond to your article, if that is ok. I really want to hear what they have to say.
You are the best, Ed! Thank you for putting your excellent writing skills to good use, for our animal companions. Do you think you will receive a response on this issue by SDHS? I kept posting your article on their posts.
Another great article. Very poorly run organization that presents an image of helping animals, but does an awful job. There is a post on Nextdoor about a homeless man with a large breed puppy tied to his cart in the middle of the street with no water. The puppy was in distress. The woman who posted the photo and information called the SDHS. They told her it wasn't abuse. She asked others on Nextdoor to call SDHS with the case number. After so many people responded, an officer gave the man a leash, told him the dog needed water and left. The homeless man is a regular and sells puppies at this location. SDHS said they can't do anything unless someone sends them a photo of the man with a sign saying he's selling the puppy. The SDHS can lie, but animal lovers on Nextdoor are going to expose their incompetence over and over.
Thank you, Suzanne! That story is yet another troubling example of SDHS failing to take meaningful action. It’s frustrating to see them hide behind technicalities instead of truly helping animals in distress. I’m glad the community is keeping the pressure on them—accountability starts with people speaking up and refusing to look the other way!
That is upsetting, Christine. SDHS had every opportunity to step in, yet they did nothing while animals suffered. It shouldn't take legal action and community outcry to force accountability. Thank you for continuing to expose these failures—stories like this need to be heard!
Wow! The laws really need to be changed. As long as animals are considered "property" they don't have any rights. Just another piece of furniture to be bought, sold, and disposed of at the whim of humans.
You’re quite right, Suzanne. Until the laws recognize animals as more than just property, their protection will always be limited. We need stronger legislation and enforcement to ensure their well-being. Thank you for speaking up!
I am so grateful that you are putting the spotlight on the nefarious acts committed by leadership by San Diego Humane Society (SDHS) against the 318 missing animals, as well as their shady efforts to try to cover things up. I am following your posts with great enthusiasm.
Thank you, Eric! I appreciate your support and dedication to exposing the truth. The animals deserve better, and I’ll keep shining a light on these issues. Stay tuned—there’s more to come!
Thank you, Christine, for shedding light on this critical issue! The level of deception and backdoor lobbying you describe is deeply troubling, and more people need to be aware of how SDHS may be using taxpayer dollars to undermine true animal welfare efforts. I appreciate your dedication to exposing the truth and pushing for real transparency.

We shall see, Olivia. This article is a response to SDHS' response to my first article on this topic. Thank you for the kind words!
