We have allowed FAS (Friends) to hurt the animals in our shelter. We have seen the effects of their care taking with our own eyes (regardless if you believe new owners of the dog or not he should have been vetted). We as citizens need to demand that volunteers be allowed to come into the shelter and help clean and tend to the animals. We also need to demand that one of the directors volunteering to run the shelter be granted that. We need better for these animals. No living being deserves to slowly starve to death.
The momentum behind this petition highlights the urgent need for oversight at the Cocke County Animal Shelter. This level of public engagement confirms that our community will no longer accept the current conditions. We are now preparing to present these concerns directly to the local authorities.

All who saw and did nothing are accountable... People can plainly see what malnourished animals look like. Clean out needs to start from the top.

Management and the full staff at the Newport animal shelter need to be replaced by competent caring people.

What I have been seeing and hearing about what is happening there is sickening. All those responsible should be arrested and made examples of!! Animals are at our mercy and deserve to be loved and talen care of. Changes must come immediately!!
