No, not here (although the description might fit):
SPCA of Erie County, New York reported on the animal shelter in
neighboring Niagara County, New York.
Also the parts about “horrific” animal cruelty and
“excruciatingly painful” euthanasia may sound familiar.

SPCA of Niagara Report; “Childish Behavior”, Lack of Oversight,

In part of her report, Carr writes, “It’s clear that the NCSPCA is
dysfunctional in many ways. Without standard operating procedures,
without careful record keeping and record retrieval, without trust
of one another, without a clear chain or command, with any
strategies to improve, this organization will continue to disappoint
and enrage the community,”

She continues, “there is an overwhelming culture of distrust at the
shelter. Some staff distrust the Executive Director, the Executive
Director distrusts many of the board members, many board members
distrust the Executive Director and some staff and volunteers
distrust some staff and staff distrusts some volunteers. Everyone
seems to distrust someone associated with the SPCA. They gossip,
pass on written complaints about each other to one another, try to
get each other fired, go behind backs of one another to people in
authority and make complaints. The evaluation team has witnessed
this rather childish behavior at all levels of the organization, by
board members, the Executive Director, staff members, and
volunteers.”
