<\/strong>\u2013 \u201cThis is Polk County Animal Control in Polk County Florida high euthanasia rate. This is the adoption area it&#8217;s over 100\u00b0 outside they&#8217;re in a metal room with wide Open doors that almost look like a barn there&#8217;s no Air conditioning. The cats were not moving many kennels were lacking food or water. Kittens could not even get up to play. This is the adoption floor and it is heartbreaking. I went and did a walk-through in the holding area for lost and found. I tried to take pictures but the lady made me stop she told me I was not allowed to take pictures and video in that area. It is absolutely worse than this adoption area.. tons of mothers with babies little one-week-old babies laying on metal breathing heavily because of the heat couldn&#8217;t even crawl over to their mother. If police came on somebody&#8217;s property and found this it would be considered animal abuse and they would be arrested yet this is how our county treats cats. The worker had to take the pulse of several kittens in the holding area because nobody was moving and they just looked dead. Arms hanging out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The images on Scott\u2019s social media pages were quickly shared by animal rights advocates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"828\" height=\"596\" data-id=\"47500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/450150577_10161985456444240_2427467210705061379_n.jpg?resize=828%2C596&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/450150577_10161985456444240_2427467210705061379_n.jpg?w=828&amp;ssl=1 828w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/450150577_10161985456444240_2427467210705061379_n.jpg?resize=300%2C216&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/450150577_10161985456444240_2427467210705061379_n.jpg?resize=768%2C553&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"828\" height=\"585\" data-id=\"47501\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/450171882_10161985456304240_1756525314888493650_n.jpg?resize=828%2C585&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/450171882_10161985456304240_1756525314888493650_n.jpg?w=828&amp;ssl=1 828w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/450171882_10161985456304240_1756525314888493650_n.jpg?resize=300%2C212&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/450171882_10161985456304240_1756525314888493650_n.jpg?resize=768%2C543&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you went in somebody&#8217;s backyard and they had a metal crate with either no blanket or filthy litter or no water, panting, lying flat, ice glazed over, what would we do?\u201d said Scott. \u201cWe would call animal control and they would be served with animal abuse papers.

Our Animal Control staff members are singularly focused on providing medical support and tender loving care to the pets in our facility, with the goal of finding each and every one of them a loving home.
