HARTFORD, Conn. -- Two state lawmakers are calling on the Connecticut Humane Society to stop euthanizing animals because of behavioral problems.
Democratic state Reps. Diana Urban of North Stonington and Annie Hornish of Granby scheduled a news conference Wednesday in Hartford to call for a moratorium on behavioral euthanasia at the organization.
The lawmakers also planned to talk about preliminary findings by the state attorney general's office in its probe of the Humane Society.
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said in March that the Humane Society has failed to spend most of its money for its central purpose of helping animals and sometimes euthanized animals instead of treating them.
A Humane Society spokeswoman didn't immediately return messages Wednesday.
