'At South LA Shelter alone, there are currently over 130 dogs with intake dates varying from March 23 to July 18 that have not been walked,' said one woman who called into the virtual meeting
An emergency meeting was held Tuesday to address the crisis of understaffed and overcrowded Los Angeles animal shelters, with dozens of upset volunteers and employees calling to describe what they said are horrific conditions.
For more than an hour, people called in to the virtual meeting with city leaders to voice their concerns over the treatment of animals inside LA's city shelters. During Tuesday's hearing, Councilman Paul Koretz, Chair of the Personnel, Audits and Animal Welfare Committee, admitted that the situation was worse than he realized.
Asked by Councilman Koretz how the department can get passed the problems it's now facing, Ramirez said,"I think the only way we can get past this is with additional staffing."
