Interview Time!

During my visits at the shelter, I came across many people who are vital to the flourishing of the animal shelter. I felt that interviewing the operations manager and the veterinarian along with the vet. technician would help me better understand why it is needed to euthanize certain animals and not others. First I interviewed the operations manager, Rita Rhodes. She explained to me the process of having new animals come to the shelter and the responsibilities placed upon her. Say for instance a dog that has been brutally abused and on the verge of death gets placed at that shelter; it is up to her to make sure the necessities that the abused dog needs are met and taken care of completely. After interviewing her, I thought it would be handy to ask the veterinarian, Dr. Michelle Crull, a couple of questions. She said that she has seen it all from animals with chains embedded into them to limbs barely hanging on or even sometimes, missing. Her role in the shelter is vital too because without her, the animals that made it possibly couldn't not have had a chance before. Most people don't believe that a vet technician is actually as helpful as the veterinarian itself. During my visit, I met Lisa Morehead who is the vet technician. She helps out Dr. Crull when it comes time for a surgery or if the animals needs shots or any type of medical care, she's the one to do it. I feel that this pertains to the problem at hand because these ladies see what type of animals come in a decide if euthanizing is the only way for them.
