Tucson Humane Society fires CEO Steve Farley over unknown fates of small animals

[Ptah]

Steve Farley, a former elected member of the Arizona House of Representatives, was fired Thursday as CEO of the Humane Society of Southern Arizona, after an investigation showed that at least 250 small animals transferred from San Diego were turned over to an unlicensed rescue group.

The organization's chief programs officer, Christian Gonzalez, was also fired, HSSA Board President Robert Garcia said.

HSSA continues to reel from the fallout after approximately 318 small animals were transferred from the San Diego Humane Society to Tucson in August.

Garcia issued an apology for what he acknowledged was a delayed response to questions about the animals' welfare.

A new development emerged Sept. 29 when media outlets found that Colten Jones, believed to be Trevor Jones' brother, is the owner of The Fertile Turtle, a reptile farm that has advertised frozen and live animals for sale as snake food.

I have them in my trust and will,keep an eye on this story. I want my money to go to saving animals, not making them into food for snakes!!!!!

4. San Diego Humane Society brought attention to possible

Improper procedures at Tucson Humane Society. San Diego Humane Society is the “good guy” here. FWIW, when I was rescuing basset hounds 15 years ago, Tucson shelter management was the worst! I had to bite my tongue and not complain to pull dogs, but they were shady.
