Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control (MADACC) killed 5357 animals in 2012. (This does not include those that died in their kennel, were dead on arrival, or were owner-requested euthanasia).
Six birds, 3514 cats, 1783 dogs, and 54 other animals died at MADACC. The charts below show comparisons from last year to this year and also the breakdown of the December statistics. As you can see, transfers and reclaims where sharply down in December.
Some improvement in overall numbers has been shown over last year but other cities in America are doing much better while Milwaukee is lagging behind. Cities such as Reno, Austin, San Antonio, Jacksonville, Salt Lake City and Kansas City, Missouri are improving their animal control programs and saving lives.
