In never gets old, that these so-called Police Officers, sheriffs, deputies just don’t know a lot of first amendment laws,with the US Supreme Court has rule that photography fall under.A Texas sheriff has banned photography of animals housed in the county shelter for the sole reason that it makes them look like they’re in jail.
As a result, animal adoptions at the Wise County animal shelter have dropped by more than two-thirds, meaning the animals will remained caged and eventually put to sleep.
The ban mostly affects rescue groups that regularly would take photos of the animals to post them on Facebook pages or email lists, according to CBS Dallas.
Wise County Sheriff David Walker said the only people allowed to take photos of the animals are those employed by the shelter.
However by restricting photographs of these poor animals, many will not be adopted at all.
To make matters worst is that they animal once they arrive at the shelter have only three days to be adopted before they are put down..
According to the sheriff's website, animals that are not adopted after three days are liable to be euthanized
Due to overcrowding in our animal shelter, and limited funds, it becomes necessary to put unclaimed animals to sleep. Texas law requires that an animal be held 3 days prior to euthanization. However, some animals at the shelter are available for adoption:if this upset you and you would like to take so type of peaceful action, there FB page is here. Hell, most shelter do give them longer then three days..
