Audit: Substandard Broward animal shelter created unsafe conditions for dogs, cats and public

The Broward County Animal Shelter is mismanaged and, as indicated in the Florida Bulldog article, has been fraudulently operated. A 16-page county auditor's report spells out the current problems, which the county has ignored. When elected Broward County's sheriff, I will urge the Broward County Commission to bring the operation under the Broward Sheriff's Office. Animal abuse and mistreatment is a criminal matter in Broward County. Law enforcement officials should have a direct role in issuing citations and arresting people for animal cruelty. The care and treatment of the cats and dogs housed in the county's shelter is substandard. Under the sheriff's office, the animals and the facility would receive the attention that they need. In addition, some of the dogs may qualify for BSO training to become a working deputy. #BSOAnimalShelter #ElectAlPollockSheriff
