There was another newspaper article on this subject, this time from the East Oregonian (the Hermiston Herald is part of the same media group).
The new article is here: (LINK) It is much more neutral and balanced than the earlier HH article.
After some concerned citizens spoke at the Hermiston city council meeting in January, the city manager Byron Smith met with some of us to hear our concerns in more detail, and then followed up with a lot of research. He presented his findings to the city council at tonight's council meeting. Also at this meeting, several more community members spoke about their concerns with Pet Rescue. The meeting minutes and an audio recording of the meeting will be available on the Hermiston city website soon.
I'm encouraged that the city manager and the council are taking these concerns seriously. We'll see where it goes from here.
