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.
