Editor, the Tribune: I am responding to a June 14 letter in the
Tribune. The person wrote regarding a dog that was euthanized by the
Central Missouri Humane Society. The person says that "organizations
like CSC and Happy Tails can continue because the CMHS takes the
fall." More than half the calls we receive are from individuals who
have adopted through the CMHS and don't want their pet anymore. We
take those when we can, space permitting, and counsel the others on
returning the pet to the Humane Society, but they won't, for fear of
euthanasia. Unfortunately, this can lead to the dumping of animals
in the county or worse scenarios.
