1. COLONEL, a newly adopted lovable young dog froze in fear & pancaked on the sidewalk during what should’ve been his freedom walk home. Instead of wrapping the leash around his muzzle & carrying him home, his inept adopters heartlessly dragged the frightened dog back to @NYCACC.

1. No words are strong enough to condemn @NYCACC for the moral crime of killing these four lovable dogs in just one day last week. So we are going to let the pictures and videos of the victims speak for themselves, about whom we lost and why we need to do something about them.

1. Days ago, @NYCACC killed PLUCKY, a lovable 6 m/o puppy in perfect health. Despite the fact that there were empty cages in the pound, they chose to murder the puppy with an injection of poison, proving once again that they kill animals not b/c they have to but b/c they WANT to!

1. When @NYCACC killed MASON instead of finding him a home, it proved 2 things: 1) that evil bureaucrats at the city pound are killing adoptable dogs for convenience, & 2) they’re selecting victims at random. There is no method to their madness, they’re just mad, & it has 2 stop!

1. Remembering CUPID, the bright, gentle young dog who tolerated the Pigeons in the background & interacted so beautifully with the volunteer in the video below. The fact that she was ever placed on their vile Kill List is a testament to the dysfunction & dishonesty of @NYCACC….

1. Yesterday afternoon, @NYCACC killed a shy, gentle young dog named LIGER. Not only is it unbearably tragic but it was particularly cruel & outrageous b/c LIGER had an adopter who wanted to give him a loving home and has been left “devastated” by his death. It should be illegal!

Amid rows of empty cages, the NYC pound killed ANAKIN, an adoptable puppy who had at least 2 homes to go to and 2 rescues willing to save him! The Shelter Animal Rescue Act (SARA) will make it illegal for @NYCACC to kill an animal with rescue interest!. #PassSARA … for ANAKIN
@TomJumboGrumbo Horrible out of NYCACC as always. Killing a puppy is their modus operandi. :'( Poor Anakin. 😡💔.

373
1. Despite the fact that someone offered to adopt DOM, @NYCACC killed the friendly, handsome young dog anyway! No one can explain why they killed yet another highly adoptable dog w/a home 2 go 2, least of all his killers b/c they are accountable to no one & there is no oversight.
140
367
355
1. As if anyone needed further proof of @NYCACC’s depraved indifference 2 life, there’s the horrific & unbearably tragic story of CHAMUCO, a friendly 3y/o dog who despite losing the use of his back legs was otherwise heathy & thriving, thanks 2 the rehabilitative magic of wheels.

Amid empty kennels in all three pounds, @NYCACC killed FREYA even though she had rescue interest and a home to go to! The Shelter Animal Rescue Act (#SARA) would make it illegal for uncaring kill pound bureaucrats to murder a dog with rescue interest! . #PassSARA … for FREYA
@notthesameone2 we can stop posting for help. ACC KILLED Freya today. they killed her innocence, her need for affection, her sweet face, they destroyed all of her😢The world lost a good soul here and we need to mobilize our Anger, and Sadness and sense of helplessness into an Army for #SARA.

1. A caption in his video below says, “Brooklyn’s owner was struggling with cancer and brought him to us to find a good home.” But @NYCACC didn’t even try to find a home for the easy-to-adopt, happy young dog who loved kids & other dogs, and they cruelly killed BROOKLYN instead!
86
330
328
Not only did @NYCACC kill a perfectly healthy, lovable dog named FIFTY yesterday, but they prevented a reputable 501(c)(3) rescue group from saving him too. If you think that’s outrageous, tell your legislators to cosponsor the Shelter Animal Rescue Act that will make it illegal!

NYPD Officer Niko Kontarinis is speaking out to condemn the killing of THOR, the “very friendly puppy” that he and other Officers of the @NYPD121Pct rescued, fell in love with and filled out paperwork to adopt, but was silently killed instead by @NYCACC!.►

1. Days ago, the @NYCACC pound executed a 10-y/o senior they named MAX KEEBLE for the capital crime of growling at those who would later drag him to his death in the kill room, proving the gentle giant who once lived happily with a 7-y/o girl was damn right to be afraid of them…

#SARA … for BROOKLYN, the lovable take-home-ready companion killed by @NYCACC while his human, stricken with cancer, battles for life…
This is the biggest tragedy of all. @DonnaLupardo & @SenatorHinchey how can you sit there & see such unacceptable cruelty befall a person & their dog?.Are we so dehumanised. Do we no longer have any compassion?.Stop murders at US 'care' centres or 'KILL' centres.@AndyWeprin @CNN.

Even w/empty kennels & intakes at a standstill, @NYCACC continues its inexplicably cruel policy of exterminating dogs w/rescues willing to save them. In spite of an offer from RDRS Sanctuary to give him a home, ACC killed BRADLEY not because they had 2, but because they WANTED 2!
98
421
244
In July, @NYCACC admits 203 animals were either exterminated or died in its custody, including 81 dogs & 122 cats, 51 of which were kittens under the age of 5 months, including 10 who languished & died in their kennels & 41 who were deliberately killed, including PEANUT BUTTER. .
Peanut Butter, a healthy orphaned kitten, was killed by the New York City pound with a rescuer only minutes away. It doesn’t have to — it shouldn’t — be this way. And if a rescue rights law is passed, it won't be:

306
245
1. TROOPER, an affectionate highly adoptable young dog was recently killed by @NYCACC, only b/c it was easier for uncaring bureaucrats than finding him a loving home. The Shelter Animal Rescue Act (SARA) would’ve required them to place TROOPER w/rescuers instead of killing him….
TROOPER IS GONE. A sweet, loving dog who just wanted his own human to love💞 He would have brought so much joy to someone's life! .He lived his last precious days in a cage, pleading with those eyes😢.RIP TROOPER😢💔🌈.We're so sorry you landed at #NYCACC

1. The six victims of @NYCACC’s horrific weekend mass killing at taxpayer expense in the richest city in the world — PLUM, KASH, LANCELOT, CAMRY, FERN & LINDA — were all perfectly healthy adoptable dogs. And there is something we can do about it….
49
364
253
1. Earlier today, @NYCACC murdered TONKA even though the dog who once lived happily with children and other dogs had a loving home to go to. An adoptable dog was needlessly killed and the family that offered to save her is devastated. And there’s something we CAN do about it …
60
281
232
1. @NYCACC killed lovable ROCKET MAN. They couldn’t admit they didn’t care about him and that it was easier to kill him than place him in a loving home, so they cited “behavior concerns” that are so ridiculous, they’re being posted below so everyone can see what liars they are…

1. #SARA … for BLEU, a lovable puppy mercilessly killed by @NYCACC on Easter Sunday! Send an email w/ BLEU’s pix to the Committee Chairs & tell them that adoptable puppies are being cruelly killed & they have the power to stop it, if only they would allow SARA to come to a vote!
@TomJumboGrumbo How easily they kill children!.
29
274
217
The Shelter Animal Rescue Act (SARA) will make it illegal for @NYCACC to reject a foster or an adopter approved by a rescue. It will arrive too late to save ZEUS who’d be alive today if only #SARA were already the law, but it’s not too late to save others in his honor & memory…
@TomJumboGrumbo @TomJumboGrumbo @kathyroussel @JoAnn72079953 Tom do u know why foster was rejected? Ax murderer, stole kids candy? Why impose such rules when ☠️ is the only other option? Reform is so desperately needed. Such a shame. Pls let us know why? @NYCACC shame pitiful 🙏🏻😇🐶❤️.

There was nothing wrong with BEAN who was killed by uncaring @NYCACC bureaucrats for convenience and an easier paycheck, but with empty cages in all three kill pounds, there was no need to do it and it has to stop!. #SARA
@AndyWeprin Still don't understand the need for these killings. R IP Bean, so sorry your life was ended prematurely.🌈.

Our rescue was about to approve an adopter for CANELA when we heard @NYCACC killed her. Her app is in front of me now. Among other things, Enerica from Albany wrote, “dogs are like humans” & “I am willing to give her a loving home.” Now we have 2 tell her what they did 2 her dog.

Exploited in this PR photo before being secretly killed, EMCEE, like MOST animals @NYCACC exterminates, was given no chance at adoption or rescue. ACC silently kills an average of 8 cats & dogs every single day… Hundreds per month, thousands every yr killed w/no hope of rescue!

1. @NYCACC gave DOGOSAURUS REX a funny name before eventually injecting poison into the friendly dog’s wrist, killing him yesterday afternoon. They also killed LEGEND, an affectionate puppy just over a yr old who loved to play tag w/kids & loved the other dogs he once lived with.

1. @NYCACC returned a lovable yr-old puppy named TIGER to the person who dumped him, and surprise, surprise, TIGER was found roaming the streets again the next day! Instead of holding the one who repeatedly abandoned him accountable, the cruel cowards murdered the innocent puppy!

1. Not only did @NYCACC neuter & then murder SNOW, but they killed the lovable dog with 2 homes to go to! Send an email w/his pix to the Committee Chairs, & tell them friendly dogs are being neutered & killed even when they homes to go to, & tell them to let #SARA come to a vote!
@TomJumboGrumbo @NHLandMLB_Fan 2 peeps inquired on FB about him & appeared to put through paperwork to either rescue or adopt. How can we find out wut happened? The peeps on FB r very rude so maybe someone can answer? This is just so friken sickening. 😤@NYCACC 😤@DonnaLupardo 😤@MichelleHinchey

@SenatorHinchey @DonnaLupardo @ASPCA 5.

#SARA … for BEATBOX, the highly adoptable puppy who was killed simply because it was easier for the sociopaths who run @NYCACC, than doing the work that was necessary to either find him a loving home or place him with the rescuers who could. Killing for convenience has to stop!
ACC KILLED poor puppy Beatbox today. that poor dog only 1 y/o denied his Life: denied a chance and he was given a best behavior assessment💔These innocent dogs, these puppies are in the grips of people who don't care. It is easier to kill than to help them. They are Monsters⚡️.

1. HOOCH, killed by @NYCACC with a home to go to! Tell the Chairs of the Ag Committees in the NY Assembly & Senate who have been blocking the bill that would’ve made it illegal to kill him, to add #SARA to the committee agenda & allow it to be voted on in the next session in Jan!
@notthesameone2 Hooch had an adoption offer from a wonderful person. They are in such a hurry to kill. It's despicable. What a waste of a beautiful life.

3. The Shelter Animal Rescue Act (#SARA), common sense shelter reform legislation introduced in New York State, would not only have given rescuers the time needed to save COLONEL but the legal right to do so…

1. It was a Bloody Sunday at the New York City pound last weekend. @NYCACC killed four adoptable dogs in a single day — a gentle young dog named ANGUZ and three friendly 1-yr-old puppies named CALI, KALADIN & KING DEDEDE were massacred. There’s something we need to do about it…
29
241
163
1. Advocates & rescuers fighting for change at the @NYCACC kill pound for many years have documented a pattern of needless killing, even as rescuers, adopters & fosters offered to save many of those victims. And yes, “that means they are employing [sociopaths]” who WANT to kill…
@AndyWeprin @arnacortazzo @MichelleHinchey @DonnaLupardo @SenatorHinchey @NYCACC I don't know why you believe anyone WANTS to. Has someone said that? That means they are employing sadists and, in all my years in rescue and working with shelters, that is not the case.

Please STOP donating to the @ASPCA & @HumaneSociety, both of which are kill pound lobbies that oppose shelter accountability & No Kill shelter reform legislation nationwide, including #SARA in NY State. When you donate to these fundraising scams, here’s where your $$ really go….
@Aletaforhorses @AndyWeprin @ASPCA @lendapaw_inc Sadly, @aspca & @HumaneSociety block shelter bills that would save more animals. They’re animal org’s in name only. Preying on people’s emotions to make a buck for their CEOs. They should put their money where their mouth is. Otherwise it’s a shallow excuse for an animal org.

B/c the @ASPCA is not a govt agency, just a corrupt fundraising scam, it isn’t subject to NY FOIL. They can & do secretly kill dogs w/no accountability. We learned that the ASPCA killed @NYCACC dogs CLOVER & GHOST from an ACC staffer who was disgusted by the inexplicable cruelty.
@AndyWeprin @ASPCA How can we keep track of what is happening to Manu?.

@nwinograd @dogsquadindia1 @AndyWeprin @ASPCA This infuriates me. Animal rescue is something I'm very passionate about. How can the ASPCA get away with this & what can be done about it? This is a very wealthy charity. If they're not fulfilling their obligation, it can't be ignored. Seriously, I have free time. What can I do?.

PASSING CAPA, ONE PIECE OF LEGISLATION AT A TIME. A-4245, the Shelter Reporting & Transparency Act is a component of #CAPA. The ultra-lifesaving Rescue Rights Act is another that’s on the way, but has no chance if kill pound lobby kills A-4245!. Fight Back:

2. The 1st of a series of No Kill bills that would make it stop, the Shelter Animal Rescue Act (#SARA) would not only empower rescuers to save threatened animals on demand but it would vastly increase the number of available rescuers. It would save thousands of lives every year.

“What did the dog learn?,” asked Jesse Cortez. “Biting mechanics,” the animal abuser replied to himself, as he went on to “thank” Donna Darrell, I suppose, for selling him the dog he bought from Pound Hounds for $400 before apparently torturing DUKE to death…. #Justice4Duke
@WiddissCheryl @Olivia06433111 @chortletown @SasskiaX @HllMaxine This is absolutely horrifying. Pound Hounds is reprehensible. Poor DUKE. His case needs to be reported to the NY State Attorney General’s Office.

@MyBoxerLuvMac1 Poor Bandido, betrayed by his owners and the nasty personnel at MACC. All for a paycheck, Label, list and kill is their mantra. 😡.Sickening organization needs to be replaced with moral and ethic people with compassion. That is absent at ACC.
