El-Sayed faces scrutiny over viral animal control record
Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan’s Democratic Senate nominee, faces renewed scrutiny over his record as Detroit health director, particularly regarding the Detroit Animal Care and Control (DACC) operations. During his tenure, euthanasia rates improved from around 20-26% to over 61%, amid allegations of animal mistreatment and poor conditions, which were highlighted by a whistleblower lawsuit. Critics point to past issues, including Animal Control’s high euthanasia numbers and reports of neglect, though El-Sayed’s campaign emphasizes efforts to overhaul staffing, procedures, and facilities to reduce animal deaths. The controversy continues to shape perceptions of his record ahead of the election.
