Tucson Humane Society fires CEO Steve Farley over unknown fates of small animals [View all]
Steve Farley, a former elected member of the Arizona House of Representatives, was fired Thursday as CEO of the Humane Society of Southern Arizona, after an investigation showed that at least 250 small animals transferred from San Diego were turned over to an unlicensed rescue group.
The organization's chief programs officer, Christian Gonzalez, was also fired, HSSA Board President Robert Garcia said.
HSSA continues to reel from the fallout after approximately 318 small animals were transferred from the San Diego Humane Society to Tucson in August.
Garcia issued an apology for what he acknowledged was a delayed response to questions about the animals' welfare.
