athena62600 - just to confirm, you are right - John Klenec from the Mahoning County Dog Warden's office has completed the Humane Agent training - he paid for it on his own along with Shelter Operations and Shelter Management training - he wants to gain as much knowledge as he can within his field, not that it is doing him any good career advancement wise - but we are hopeful that someday it will pay off somehow...he is the type of person who should be filling all these positions regarding the animals...someone who truely cares about their well being. This whole Humane Agent crisis is just another case of "politics" in the Mahoning County...it is getting really old.
The dog pound is under staffed & under managed currently - I don't see how they can assume this responsibility - obviously there is a need for a humane agency so I am hopeful that something is figured out fast. The abused and neglected animals need a voice...
Know what is CRAZY?? Steve Croley only got FOUR MONTHS for the FOUR COUNTS of animal cruelty he was charged with...How inconsistent is that? The part that I can't forget is that with the Steve Croley case - they found 7 dead dogs and 12 dogs that were suffering from starvation...that still makes me so sad...
