Humane Society of Arizona lies, kills man's cat, blocks upset Facebook comments
Rescue group in crisis mode after cat euthanized
http://j.mp/vHgXOn (AP / TriCityHerald)
"Animal lovers threatened to pull donations to an animal rescue group
and the public flooded the agency with scathing comments and calls
after a man's cat was euthanized when he couldn't afford its medical
care, prompting the Arizona Humane Society to go into damage-control
mode Wednesday.The group has hired a publicist, removed dozens of
comments on its Facebook page and directed a team of five volunteers
to respond to the overwhelming calls and emails it has received since
The Arizona Republic published a weekend story about Daniel Dockery
and his 9-month-old cat, Scruffy."

There may be more important stories. But this one really pisses me
off (anyone who knows how I feel about animals will understand).
That's the most polite language I can manage right now. The social
media aspects of this story are also of direct interest, of course.
