Maricopa County Animal Care and Control says its West shelter was evacuated on Wednesday morning due to a phoned-in threat to blow the facility up.
The shelter is located just north of 27th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road."As soon as we got in, I heard that there is a situation. There’s been a phoned-in threat, and we need to evacuate the building immediately," Kim Powell recounted.Some of the workers were taken to a nearby air-conditioned building following the evacuation. Some pets were also evacuated.
The exact details of the call remain unclear."Animal welfare is an emotional line of work. You can look at any of our Facebook, Instagram comments, and you could see there’s always a number of emotions running through those comments, and it’s a shame that someone took the rhetoric to a different step, and put our staff, volunteers and our animals in potential harm," said Powell.
