There are so many valid questions and concerns being raised making it hard to believe our County would award an organization such a large contract without having all of the processes defined prior to assuming responsibility.

It’s like learning to bake a cake after you open the bakery and expecting the patrons to pay up front and be patient while you figure things out. Way more wrongs than rights in this situation but I’m just a tax payer in Cecil County, what do I know?!

Plenty of seating and audio recording should make for a productive meeting.

They had volunteers who bought, contributed, cleaned, cared, GAVE, and those volunteers were arrogantly and ignorantly asked not to return because they got disgusted ….

Individual volunteers were asked to leave tho they spent their own dollars to help get the cat rooms set up properly and never asked for anything in return. What they got is an absolute shame.

This isn’t about the people in charge, it’s about treatment of the animals that you are being PAID, through Cecil County taxes, to care for with the dignity and respect they deserve.

They should have to abide by the same laws imposed by the Buddies on breeders, kennels, and common folk. …But who enforces them on the organization in charge of enforcing?

Our elected officials don’t have to admit to being wrong but now they must be held accountable for making a bad call. Save face before it’s too late. … Sometimes, the best of intentions are plagued by inexperience, inadequacy and inability.
