Macon news station WMAZ had a story on their Web site about a Warner Robins animal shelter that is selling euthanized cats to bio-medical research groups.
They say they are using the money - $3 per euthanized cat - for shelter upkeep and care of the other animals.
Read the story here.
It's a sad reality that animal shelters are crowded and euthanization is implemented at some facilities.
But is it ethical for these shelters to sell euthanized animals for the sake of maintaining the facility?

If you are interested in adopting a cat (or other animal) from Warner Robins Animal Control, visit their Petfinder page, which has a link to animals available for adoption ("Our Pet List.") Warner Robins is east of Columbus and south of Macon (about a two-hour drive from Columbus.)
