The Board of Carroll County Commissioners hosted a more than two-hour “listening meeting” Monday to hear  the concerns of citizens with Animal Advocates of Carroll County.

[...]

Dave Ledford, a self-described “huge animal lover,” has worked at the Carroll County Humane Society for two years.

On Monday, he attempted to reassure about 50 community members attending a meeting at the county office building to discuss the use of euthanasia at the humane society that employees try to do the best thing for each animal they receive.

“Sometimes euthanizing an animal is the best thing for that animal,” Ledford said. “It’s part of our job. It’s not an easy part of our job, but sometimes that is the best thing for the animal. Sometimes the animal is suffering.”
