TRENTON NJ, October 20, 2017:\u00a0 In a news release titled\u00a0“Persistent Waste, Abuse at NJSPCA<\/a>,<\/strong>” the State Commission of Investigation says “One of New Jersey\u2019s leading humane organizations remains incapable of adequately fulfilling its core mission \u2013 enforcing the State\u2019s animal cruelty\u00a0laws.”<\/p>\n

The release goes on to detail\u00a0that “the NJSPCA fails to consistently respond to
\nanimal cruelty complaints in a timely manner, spends exorbitant sums on legal billings\u00a0rather than for direct animal care and remains a haven for \u201cwannabe\u201d cops \u2013 some of whom believe they are free to exercise police powers beyond enforcement of the animal cruelty statutes.”<\/p>\n

All we can hope for is that the new Governor, whomever he or she is, will actually act on this scathing report and implement its recommendations.\u00a0 Shame on him or her if they don’t.<\/p>\n
