According to a story published Wednesday on Fox5 News, the Boggs Mountain Humane shelter, a non-profit organization which proudly touts their "no-kill" policy, is actually killing perfectly healthy, highly-adoptable animals.

Not only are they killing the dogs, but they are lying to their supporters about the killings and collecting funds which are supposed to be utilized to guarantee that the dogs will not be destroyed.

On the day that the reporters visited the facility, two dogs were killed within moments of their cameras rolling. The whistle-blower from the facility notified the news team that the dogs, Sally and Lola, had been taken next door to a county shelter to be destroyed.

When the reporter confronted the shelter director, Lowanda Kilby, who allegedly hand picks those who will be killed, she flat out denied any wrong-doing.

so many people thinking they are doing a good thing, in which I too could have fallen for, and being taken in by the fraud.

Thankfully one person who worked there couldn't handle it anymore. I would have loved that foxhound but she's not alive anymore.

And it was heart breaking! I want to see jail time for all involved.

I still can't figure out why the whistle blower didn't stop them from taking the two dogs the reporter showed.
