COMPTROLLER STRINGER AUDIT: IMPROPER HANDLING OF DRUGS AND POOR SHELTER CONDITIONS AT ANIMAL CARE & CONTROL.

“Our audit indicates a lack of effective management and financial and operational negligence. As a result, questionable conditions put the well-being of the animal population at risk,” Stringer said. “Our City can and must do a better job of treating homeless animals with compassion and respect.”
