A grand jury in Orange County released a report last week on OC Animal Care in Tustin, California, stating concerns over its high euthanasia rates, poor leadership, limited staffing, lack of proper assessment of animals chosen for euthanasia, and low morale.

This is not the first time the jury has looked into the agency. Five previous reports detailed similar concerns about the shelter’s policies and animal welfare, according to the June 9 report.
