More Liars in the News

The director of a "no kill" animal shelter had apparently told people that if they gave a donation they could assure that a particular dog wouldn't be killed.  She took the donations, transferred animals to the kill shelter next door (that she also ran) and sent emails to the donors saying that the dead dogs had been adopted.  She was fired, and is facing criminal charges.  Story is here:  Bogg's Mountain Fraud

Another case involved a dog that was the mascot of a college.  A worker left the dog outside too long in the heat, the dog died, the worker lied and said the dog got out and was missing.  This liar was also fired.

I just don't understand people who think that lying is a good idea, you have to be really, really smart to get away with it.  I might have thought ill of someone who did something wrong, but when the lie is uncovered (and it always is) I think even less of them.
