The staff at Apple Valley Animal Shelter have faced relentless, cruel attacks by “networkers,” Networkers are people who share photos of animals in shelters on social media.
What networkers can’t seem to comprehend is that the large numbers of animals coming into not only Apple Valley Animal Shelter, but shelters throughout the country is not the fault of the employees who work in these facilities.
This insane level of abuse has come from all over the world.
One staff member was threatened with murder. The threat was credible. What kind of a person claims to care about animals, but threatens to murder a human being?
California has strict laws regarding this type of online behavior, and it needs to stop.
There are hundreds of social media posts like these, and it would be impossible to post them all here. What can’t be shown are all of the vicious, vile voice messages and emails. No one deserves to put up with this while on the job. No one.
