Criticism halts 'Black is beautiful' pet promo - Pet health- msnbc.com: "GEORGETOWN, Texas - An animal shelter pulled the plug on a program promoting the adoption of black cats and dogs after criticism that the event would have taken place the same week as a holiday commemorating freedom for enslaved blacks.
The Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter planned to reduce adoption fees from June 14-20 for black-coated animals through a 'Black is Beautiful' promotion.
Eleven of 17 dogs and 12 of 24 cats at the shelter have black coats, shelter director Cheryl Schneider said. 'It's just a known fact that black cats and black dogs are difficult to adopt,' she said."
