Makayla Hilburn, a compassionate and dedicated director of the Putnam County Animal Shelter, has been unjustly terminated from her position. Her dismissal stemmed from political motives, primarily due to her brave decision to report the inhumane killing and disposal of puppies from another shelter.

Makayla has always been a fervent advocate for the welfare of animals, ensuring they receive the care and love they deserve. Her commitment to transparency and her courage to speak out against unethical practices should be celebrated, not punished. The decision to let her go has not only deprived the shelter of a passionate leader but also endangered the well-being of countless animals who depended on her.

Reinstating Makayla Hilburn will ensure that the Putnam County Animal Shelter continues to be a safe haven for animals, where their needs are prioritized and where ethical standards are upheld.

We urge the Putnam County Commission to reconsider its decision. The community deserves leaders who are not only competent but also have the best interests of both the animals and the public at heart. Let us stand together and voice our demand for justice and ethical treatment in our local institutions.
