The Humane Society of Southern Arizona has named an interim CEO in the wake of a controversy involving the disappearance of small animals after they were transferred recently from San Diego to Tucson.
The nonprofit announced that Beth Morrison, a consultant, will take over daily operations until a replacement is found.
She replaces Steve Farley, a former state legislator and Democratic candidate for governor, who said he had no involvement in the animal transfers and found news of the animal disappearances “disturbing.”
The group said it hopes to wrap up its investigation into the controversy by Friday, and will then begin work on a written report.
