Shooting the pets that don't get adopted

This extraordinarily cruel and inhumane treatment is how homeless pets are handled in Hinckley, Utah. Cats and dogs are held for only 72 hours in the local "shelter" and then taken to a nearby open sewer pit where they are shot. If they run out of bullets the animals are run over by a vehicle. The mayor of the community says it’s efficient and cost-effective, and perfectly legal. Neighbors have reported that the pets are not always dead when they’re thrown in the pit and some have crawled onto nearby properties to die a slow, painful death.
