A week after being voted in, the Barrow County Animal Control Director is out of the job because of some inappropriate pictures.

Danyal Harper's Photobucket account included a picture of a dead animal with a sign saying "Free Cat." There was also a cartoon making light of euthanization.

Harper tells Channel 2 Action News they were posted over a decade ago.

"It does sort of sting that it was there. Juvenilistically, ten years ago I found it funny," said Harper.

But the commission did not.

"They're extremely inappropriate," said Barrow Commission Chair Pat Graham. "On any level, but especially for someone who's responsible for animal welfare."

The Barrow Commission demoted Harper Wednesday night. His future is up in the air.
