10 TV: The economy is taking a toll on the Capital Area Humane Society. Five positions have been cut, including one humane agent… Agents are law enforcers who investigate abuse of all animals. Other employees will see their salaries cut, or have their hours trimmed.
The agency's director, Jodi Buckman, said the humane society is feeling the same economic pinch as other central Ohio businesses. "We realized that we needed to continue to live within our means," Buckman said. "That meant a smaller footprint for our operation. It was important we take what resources we have and we invest them in a way that ensures we can continue to provide great service for the pets and people of central Ohio."
The Capital Area Humane society operates on a budget of over $2 million a year. It is a non-profit organization that gets the bulk of its funding through donations.
