A national animal rights group claims that the Washington Humane Society has shown “gross incompetence” in its management of D.C.’s animal shelter, committing acts of animal cruelty and failing to provide adequate care.

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, in a Dec. 31 letter to Mayor Adrian Fenty, detailed “unacceptable conditions” at the D.C. Animal Shelter on New York Avenue Northeast, operated by the Washington Humane Society for the Department of Health. Several of the allegations, PETA said, could merit criminal cruelty charges or at least employee terminations.
