10/06/11 What is the minimal standard of care at state animal shelters for sick animals? Anyone know?

A kitten has crusty eyes and a temperature. No medications are given at many shelters. An animal has a broken bone. No pain meds are given. The bone is not set. The animals suffer. The staff does nothing.What is the minimal standard of care at government run shelters? Anyone know?
