Sampson County hires new pound director

Lori Baxter announced on the Sampson County pound Facebook page (screenshot here in case the post gets deleted) last week that she was not offered the permanent director position and that her last day would be Friday, Dec. 21. According to an article in the Sampson Independent, the new pound director will be Alan W. Canady, currently the lead officer with Cumberland County Animal Control.

It’s not clear what this means as far as the demise of the Sampson County gas chamber. In a comment on her farewell Facebook post, Baxter said the county is waiting for “the second part” of the license required to possess the drugs required to kill by injection.

    Maybe they should apply for a license to forgo both killing systems, and invest some time and money ($60, maybe) to learn more about No-Kill methodology. Oh yeah, that doesn’t require a permit. Just a commitment.
