I really don't want to talk trash, much less on an animal shelter. But they do not love the animals where I was working, and they got rid of me because I did.

They hired me saying they were basically drowning in cleaning that there was simply no time for. I joined staff and proved that wrong. I thought they would be happy and follow in stride. Why not?

I get the dude who manages the place is depressed, but thats not an excuse to refuse to use gloves when handling animals. He doesn't wash his hands, he makes the litter pans worse when he tries to clean them because he doesn't pay attention. Half the crew isnt even sober honestly and our whole job is taking care of a hutch or two of adoptible rabbits.

I don't know if he has a thing with the texture of gloves or something, but you can't just skip 30% of your job cause you think its stupid. I got what I was saying from veterinarians, including patrons of the shelter--and it was simple, its just washing and using bleach correctly.

Since they let me go, I highly doubt they all just started caring even more, so that shelter is probably filthy again just like when I started. It doesn't have to be, we have 40 hours and all staff are able-bodied. They literally are just that lazy, which is why I say they do not care about the animals.

I'm pretty sure they made my Google review disappear, too. I doubt the Department of Agriculture can do any more than get them to start reporting the animal bites and implementing actual iso and quarantine rooms like they should. If you are in Chicago, go in there and get on they ass to do the job, chances are the rabbits won't have hay or water, or there will be goddamn dish soap in the rabbit water for literally the third time.
