Furthermore, the Texas city of Sugar Land made the firings public in a statement on Friday after discovering that Sugar Land's Animal Services shelter had killed at least 38 dogs and cats inadvertently. In response to the "inappropriate behavior," the city immediately fired five staff members. Additionally, the shelter's manager resigned from his post before the city fired him. Texas animal shelter

Moreover, the terminated workers allegedly stated that the slain animals "had a medical diagnosis" or were acting violently. Investigations, however, showed that the workers put the cats and dogs to sleep without the necessary veterinary examinations or supervision. According to Sugar Land officials, a licensed behaviorist must also decide if hostile animals should be put to death. Therefore, officials from Sugar Land concluded that the workers deliberately disobeyed verbal instructions and protocol to put the animals to sleep. Texas animal shelter

On the other hand, in light of the upsetting disclosures, officials from the Texas city highlighted that they are attempting to earn back the public's trust. The city stated that it "will continue to work to adopt whatever training and standards needed to ensure this never happens again." And although it will take time to regain the public's trust, the Sugar Land city said it would persevere. "The thorough inquiry and disciplinary actions are a beginning."

They claimed the unauthorized euthanasia took place "behind closed doors" and distanced themselves from the sacked personnel.
