WHY ACTION IS NEEDED
MULTNOMAH COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES is currently leaderless in practice, lacking professional shelter expertise, accountability, and operational competence. This lack of competent leadership has led to inhumane conditions and deadly outcomes for animals in the shelter.
WHAT WE’VE EXPOSED:
extreme operational disfunction at the multnomah county Animal shelter resulting in CHAOS, CRUELTY, & dead animals.
1.
Chair Jessica Vega Pedersen refuses to replace the current MCAS Director, an ineffective, long-time bureaucrat—with no animal shelter experience whatsoever. The predictable result: chaos, cruelty, and dead animals.
Multnomah County chair JESSICA VEGA PEDERSEN’S shows heartless indifference
2.
Vega Pedersen refuses to remove an arrogant shelter manager who kills dogs arbitrarily and indiscriminately, despite overwhelming evidence and public outrage. This is not ignorance. This is willful inaction.
CHAIR JESSICA VEGA PEDERSEN has misused money & demonstrated incompetance
3.
After local media exposed animal abuse and unnecessary deaths, Chair Vega Pedersen staged an expensive, performative “review” to quiet public outrage. Instead of reform, conditions worsened. More suffering. More death. More excuses.
She has helped create a culture
of COWARDICE AND COMPLICITY
4.
Multnomah County Commissioners know exactly what is happening inside MCAS. They have the authority to act. They choose silence. Their refusal to intervene makes them complicit in the suffering.
