Years after overseeing the euthanasia of over four thousand dogs and cats, Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed said that he was \u201cnot much of an animal guy\u201d while taking credit for rebuilding animal control in Detroit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The comments came seven years after the Michigan Democrat ran Detroit animal control as it faced scrutiny over its sky-high euthanasia rates. El-Sayed\u2019s handling of animal control while leading public health in Detroit emerged in recent days after The Daily Mail <\/span>revealed<\/span> that 4,680 dogs and cats were euthanized during his two-year tenure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be no surprise to our listeners here that I\u2019m not much of an animal guy. Like, you know, I love people, and I think that, like, that makes up for it,\u201d El-Sayed said on an April \u00a030, 2024 episode of his <\/span>podcast<\/span>. \u201cAnd I love animals, and I feel like given our work together in the city, I\u2019ve done justice to animal kind. Many, many nights working to save many animals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Locked in a Senate race against Republican Mike Rogers, El-Sayed has faced numerous controversies over past comments he made on his podcast and other media appearances. He argued that \u201cfireworks suck,\u201d likened bacon to plutonium, and said he hated beloved Michigan tourist hotspot Mackinac Island.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His views toward animals resurfaced after The Daily Mail <\/span>published<\/span> a report detailing El-Sayed\u2019s time overseeing animal control. El-Sayed, who ran the Detroit Department of Public Health, took the helm of Detroit Animal Care and Control at the end of 2015 when the city transferred control under his jurisdiction. That came as animal control faced whistleblower complaints describing the entity as a \u201cslaughterhouse.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just after taking over, El-Sayed <\/span>reportedly<\/span> banned one local Detroit outlet from interviewing the head of animal control because of negative stories the outlet wrote on unnecessary animal killings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

El-Sayed discussed his experience running animal control during the April 2024 podcast with one of his former colleagues.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be the first to tell you, I\u2019m more of a people person than an animal person, but I learned to love the furry creatures, and I have to believe that I\u2019ve done my duty by them,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span>While noting that he had two cats, El-Sayed said he liked to keep his distance from animals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI appreciate them, and I want to see them thrive,\u201d El-Sayed said of animals. \u201cThey do them, and I do me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

During the podcast, El-Sayed claimed credit for reducing animal euthanasia rates. He said that nearly eight in ten animals entering animal control were killed when he took over, but said that had reversed by the time he left to mount a failed bid for governor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shortly after The Daily Mail published its story, El-Sayed released a campaign <\/span>video<\/span> featuring one of his former colleagues defending their time running animal control.<\/span><\/p>\n

That came as animal control faced whistleblower complaints describing the entity as a \u201cslaughterhouse.\u201d\u00a0Just after taking over, El-Sayed reportedly banned one local Detroit outlet from interviewing the head of animal control because of negative stories the outlet wrote on unnecessary animal killings.\u00a0El-Sayed discussed his experience running animal control during the April 2024 podcast with one of his former colleagues.\u201cI\u2019ll be the first to tell you, I\u2019m more of a people person than an animal person, but I learned to love the furry creatures, and I have to believe that I\u2019ve done my duty by them,\u201d he said.\u00a0While noting that he had two cats, El-Sayed said he liked to keep his distance from animals.\u00a0\u201cI appreciate them, and I want to see them thrive,\u201d El-Sayed said of animals. \u201cThey do them, and I do me.\u201dDuring the podcast, El-Sayed claimed credit for reducing animal euthanasia rates. He said that nearly eight in ten animals entering animal control were killed when he took over, but said that had reversed by the time he left to mount a failed bid for governor.\u00a0Shortly after The Daily Mail published its story, El-Sayed released a campaign video featuring one of his former colleagues defending their time running animal control.\u201cProud to have worked alongside Director Miller at Detroit Animal Care and Control when I led the Detroit Health Department,\u201d he said. \u201cTogether, we helped dramatically increase placements into loving homes.Animal care is a public health issue.\u201dHasan Piker, one of El-Sayed\u2019s associates, has faced accusations that he shocked his dog with a shock collar during one of his Twitch streams.","og_url":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2413","og_site_name":"Blue Route Journal","article_published_time":"2026-08-18T21:39:28+00:00","author":"admin","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"admin","Est. reading time":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2413#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2413"},"author":{"name":"admin","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/#\/schema\/person\/19da116f8d79cf8987781569801c6b7c"},"headline":"Abdul El-Sayed Took Over A Dog \u2018Slaughterhouse.\u2019 He Admits He\u2019s Not An \u2018Animal Guy.\u2019","datePublished":"2026-08-18T21:39:28+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2413"},"wordCount":586,"commentCount":0,"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2413#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/a8cc3385edd7a637930a3f73f601e939.avif","articleSection":["News"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2413#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2413","url":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=2413","name":"Abdul El-Sayed Took Over A Dog \u2018Slaughterhouse.\u2019 He Admits He\u2019s Not An \u2018Animal Guy.\u2019 -
