I’m not taking sides in the Arizona Humane Society/Scruffy debate. Animals are euthanized every day and it’s sad every day.

But just like the guys over at Politifact, it’s the cover-up, not the crime. Guy Collison, AHS director:

“Scruffy’s story is heartbreaking, and underscores the worst-case-scenario of need eclipsing resources available. Despite recent media coverage, AHS has always done what is best for the animals and the people in their lives.”

For the AHS to have always done what is best for the animals and the people in their lives would be a mathematical impossibility. I would say that they strive to and probably do a damn good job. But to be perfect? Come on.

There will be more kittens and they will be adorable and loved, but we only get one go-round each, and a little intellectual honesty would make the gears run so much smoother.
