La petición está dirigida a: Hendricks County Residents
This petition calls on Hendricks County leadership to take immediate action to address serious, ongoing problems at the county animal shelter that impact both animal welfare and public safety. Current conditions include a lack of heat in the facility, chronic underfunding, a shelter that is too small for our growing population, staffing shortages, and limited response to calls about stray and loose animals. These issues affect our neighborhoods, our roads, and every animal that enters county care. This petition demands transparency, accountability, and a clear, funded plan for improvement.
Razones.
Animals housed at the shelter are being placed at risk due to inadequate facilities and resources. Public safety is also affected when calls about stray or loose animals cannot be responded to promptly. While shelter staff continue to work under challenging conditions and with limited support, they cannot solve these systemic problems alone. Our community deserves humane shelter conditions, reliable funding, and an effective Animal Control system. Without immediate action, both animal welfare and public safety will continue to suffer.

Por qué la gente firma.
Animals are sentient beings deserving a life free from unnecessary pain, distress, and fear. Treating animals well shows our capacity for empathy and builds a more humane society.
A county that neglects animal welfare and animal control signals deeper issues, reflecting a lower societal value on compassion, ethical treatment, and potentially poor governance, leading to public health risks from a variety of factors (zoonotic diseases, animal attacks, bites, fights, etc…) and a disconnect between citizens and government.
