After four years of inaction by the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals on requests from three dozen volunteers that want to combat anti-animal cruelty, the New Jersey Superior Court this week ordered the NJSPCA to adopt procedures within 60 days to evaluate such requests.

The NJSPCA’s official response to the Order that concluded the law suit against it: we had planned to act anyway!

Wake up and smell the coffee burning!

Saying that you couldn’t figure out how to start reviewing applications for four years – when state statute requires you to assist interested persons to form local SPCA chapters  — is dereliction of duty, plain and simple.

The NJSPCA needs to stop acting like a bunch of good old boys that cares only about turf, vehicles with flashing lights, and what fee revenue it can generate.

Let people in their own communities fight animal cruelty!

And don’t say you were planning to act… Do it!  Approve the applications now!
