Animal shelter evacuated after FBI combines method in the facility

Fourteen employees at the US Animal Asylum were hospitalized on Wednesday after the FBI used burning on the facility to burn two pounds of confiscated methamphetamine.

Staff and 75 cats and dogs were evacuated from the Yelaston Valley in Billings, Montana, when the building is filled with smoke.

Usually, the burning is used by animal control officers to dispose of euthanized animals, but local authorities said it could also be used by law enforcement agencies to burn confiscated drugs.

Cats and dogs were moved, and the animals that felt the greatest smoke are now under surveillance.

According to the assistant of the city administrator Kevin Efland, the incident was caused when the smoke was pushing in the wrong direction.

Trinity HalverSon, Executive Director of the Trinity asylum that he did not know what the drug burns were going on.

“I can say firmly and confidently that, as the executive director, I did not know that they were disposing of extremely dangerous drugs on the spot,” she wrote in the statement.

“My team and my animals confirmed that they were subjected to metal,” she said.

Before evacuating themselves, many employees dressed masks and helped pull out the animals.

Some employees were smoke for more than an hour, and somewhat started to feel bad. All 14 went to the trauma center, where they spent about three hours in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to combat the effects of smoke inhalation.

FBI -secretary -secretary Sandra Barker told CBS News that the agency regularly uses the drugs for controlled drugs.

The affected animals received veterinary assistance and placed in temporary housing, including four litter kittens, which were closely monitored because they were closed in a smoke room, Ms Halverson told a BBC CBS News partner.

According to her, the restoration team also started a decontaminated building, but the process will take at least two weeks before the month.

Calling the incident “mental”, HalverSon asks the public donations to the source such as food for dogs and cats, blankets and bottles.

“We are moved, lost and homeless. For many of us, employees, volunteers and speeches – Ivas is our safe space,” she said.
