WHY ACTION IS NEEDED
First — and most urgently — are the conditions inside the shelter itself: mismanagement, dysfunction , and preventable death.
Second, these failures do not exist in a vacuum. They are the direct result of failed leadership by Jessica Vega Pedersen and the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners, who allow this suffering to continue.
Only by electing competent, accountable leadership will animal suffering end.
Many citizens mistakenly believe the Oregon Humane Society on N.E. Columbia Blvd. is their local public animal shelter. In reality, the county shelter is Multnomah County Animal Services, located 17 miles from Portland in Troutdale.
The Oregon Humane Society is a private nonprofit funded by donations and grants earned through its life-saving work and public trust. Multnomah County Animal Services is taxpayer-funded, yet despite projecting an appearance of competence and compassion, it has failed to earn both the trust and respect of the community it serves.
WHAT WE’VE EXPOSED:
extreme operational disfunction at the multnomah county Animal shelter resulting in CHAOS, CRUELTY, & DEAD ANIMALS
1.
Chair Jessica Vega Pedersen refuses to replace the current MCAS Director, an ineffective, long-time bureaucrat—with no animal shelter experience whatsoever. The predictable result: an agency operating without standards, accountability and transparency.
Multnomah County chair JESSICA VEGA PEDERSEN’S shows heartless indifference
2.
Vega Pedersen refuses to remove an arrogant shelter manager who reportedly kills dogs arbitrarily and indiscriminately, despite overwhelming evidence and public outrage. This is not ignorance. This is willful inaction.
CHAIR JESSICA VEGA PEDERSEN has misused money & demonstrated incompetance
3.
After local media exposed animal abuse and unnecessary deaths, Chair Vega Pedersen staged an expensive, performative “review” to quiet public outrage. Instead of reform, conditions worsened. More suffering. More death. More excuses.
She has helped create a culture
of COWARDICE AND COMPLICITY
4.
Multnomah County Commissioners know exactly what is happening inside MCAS. They have the authority to act. They choose silence. Their refusal to intervene makes them complicit in the suffering.
