Hold Shannon Sims and Michael Shannon Accountable for Negligence at the S.A.A.C.S.
Hold Shannon Sims and Michael Shannon Accountable for Negligence at the S.A.A.C.S.
The Issue
It's high time we sought justice for Love, an innocent victim of neglect at the San Antonio Animal Shelter (S.A.A.C.S). Love lost her life due to this negligence that saw her handed over to known animal abusers. Shannon Sims, the previous director, and Michael Shannon, the current director, of S.A.A.C.S, are directly accountable for this grave oversight. With regards to Texas law, HB 598 passed in 2023, these directors should have been aware of the adopters' track record. Love's tragic demise is undoubtedly a system failure that occurred under their leadership. We call upon the Texas law enforcement and animal rights authorities to investigate this incident and hold Shannon Sims and Michael Shannon responsible for this unlawful act. This case stands as a stark reminder of the institutional changes needed to ensure the safety of animals in shelters across the state. By signing the petition, you are raising your voice against institutional negligence and demanding justice for Love.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"My Letter To Love"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I did not know you in your life,I so wish I had ...you would of been so very loved.But I love you so dearly in your death.I think of you often & my heart breaks to imagine what hell you went through at the hands of your abusers....And San Antonio Animal Care Services are not any better than your abusers.To release you into the home of the very people who abused you is totally appalling & unacceptable.There has to be accountability for your pain,suffering & death. I cannot & will not try to pretend it didn't happen.It did happen & I have dedicated the rest of my life to see to it that those responsible will be held accountable & to see that no one ever forgets you.I know it will not bring you back but I can be sure that shelters are not releasing animals into known abusive homes.This must stop.Your death will be an example for shelters to be more responsible to where they are placing animals.Your death will be used as an example for what shelters should NOT do.Many people love you,it's just a shame that you had to lose your life for things to change.But I believe you are in heaven flying free of any pain or abuse.It is not for us to judge, but one day those abusers will be judged by someone far greater than us...
And in your name we will attempt to get a law passed so no other animal goes through what you did,if passed it will be called "Love's Law".
Rest in peace Love you are now our angel.I hope you can feel the love so many have for you & how much you are missed, keep your little light shining for the world to see.It will light the way for those that go on after you.
