San Antonio's departing ACS director rails against critics during farewell speech

Shannon Sims, the outgoing director of San Antonio's embattled Animal Care Services department, railed against his critics and claimed he'd been unfairly targeted during his final advisory board meeting on Wednesday evening. Sims' acerbic 10-minute address prefaces his retirement, which is scheduled for this summer. He announced his exit plans amid public anger and shock over a string of deadly attacks by loose dogs and revelations that the underfunded department was only responding to a fraction of calls.
