| Please help...this is an outrage...please sign this petition... PLEASE READ and sign this Petition... Residents in the small town of Hinckley, Utah are speaking out against the city's animal control policy. The mayor of Hinckley says after strays are held for 72 hours, they are shot. Critics call it an archaic and cruel form of animal control. Hinckley resident Suzanne Folsom said, "It's so sick and its so very very wrong." According to city officials and residents, the dogs and cats are taken to a fenced-in sewage pond on the outskirts of town, shot and their bodies left in an open pit.One of the townspeople stated:"It's probably one of the worst things I've ever seen." As to the dogs in the massive grave, "They had collars on them. They were people's pets."Mayor Donald Brown says the city's policy is efficient and cost-effective. It is legal to shoot dogs and cats in Utah if done humanely with one bullet to the head. City maintenance supervisor Stephen Beagley said, "I have never a time when it took more than one bullet." The city denied any allegations that the animals suffered from their policy. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/sto...imal-brutality This makes me sick...I can't believe this is happening. Please sign and pass this on to everybody you can think of. Thank you very much and all the babies thank you too. Last edited by yorkieloverx2tn; 03-30-2010 at 03:55 AM. |

| I would like to sign that petition, but I would like to confirm that this is legit, and true first. Do you have any place to verify this story? I have always heard that online petitions do not hold any value, and were more likely to be used for scammers and advertisers. The consent at the bottom only says that your email will not be displayed publicly, it does not say that this list compiled will not be sold to companies looking for valid email addresses. If it is true, I will gladly sign.
