The City of Fresno Destroyed the Only Shelter these Homeless People had

by Mike Rhodes (editor [at] fresnoalliance.com)
These photos are from week 3 of the City of Fresno’s demolition of homeless encampments in the downtown area. Photo below: City of Fresno workers destroy a homeless shelter on San Benito, near H street.

While city officials claim to be on the verge of bankruptcy they did manage to find enough money to destroy the only shelter hundreds of homeless people had. The city would not help by providing drinking water, portable toilets or trash bins, but they were out in force to bulldoze tents, tarps, and wood structures built by the homeless in downtown Fresno.

The Fresno SPCA kill rate is over 70 percent. I wonder how long this cute little dog has before it is killed.

I emailed friends/family the pictures and hoped one of them would find a home for the dogs. I wish they could also find homes for the people.
