The City of San Angelo provided scant information on their investigation into the poisoning of dogs in the city's Animal Shelter around Saturday, November 13, 2021. Shelter leadership sought assistance from San Angelo Police Department on November 19th. They informed the public on December 1st.
I spoke with the Detective investigating the widespread dog poisoning at the City of San Angelo Animal Shelter yesterday. They said that no one has been charged to date for multiple acts of animal cruelty. They were unable to share any additional information as it is an active investigation.
I shared my interest in the city's exploration as to how someone got access to shelter animals to poison them and how the city might make changes to prevent such an occurrence from happening again. I asked for documents the city could send in that regard.
The City of San Angelo has reviewed its files and has determined there are no responsive documents to your request for operational assessments.
So the city made no changes in Animal Services operations as a result of the poisoning? The city is yet to respond to this lingering question.. No answers. No changes. No charges,
Update 1-19-22: The City did respond to the question on changes made after someone poisoned shelter dogs, killing three.
No document was created when improving the security and safety of the animalsSo the city did no staff/volunteer training when improving the security and safety of the animals after the deadly event? If so, it used no agendas or documents (policies/procedures/presentation materials/sign-in sheets)?
The city said it conducted no investigation into the poisonings. So how did the city improve animal safety and security at the shelter and while creating no documents in the process? Storytelling.
Update 10-21-22: A citizen raised this issue in yesterday's Animal Shelter Advisory Committee meeting., stating the dog poisoning had been swept under the rug.
