NYCACC is well known as a hell hole and its director, Risa Weinstock has proven her incompetence and lack of concern for any animal unfortunate enough to be stuck there. The whole staff should be dumped and the place needs a complete overhaul. I would not leave a cockroach there (I'm sure they have enough).

Daria Kennedy

This is disgraceful! How did this little dog die?!

Kim Bialecki

This cruelty needs to stop. Animals lives matter.

Robin Eckhardt

In the rescue world the New York shelters are loathed. They are known to be dirty and inadequate. Trying to pull animals from these shelters is nearly impossible and thousands of animals die needlessly every year. Reform is desperately needed. Please take this petition seriously and take action now!!!!

Deborah Giardino

Be Their Voice!

Katarina Jozanc

Euthanasia is murder.

Elizabeth LoStocco

The daily killing of healthy adoptable animals at these facilities sickens me. IT NEEDS TO STOP NOW!!!

Kathryn Peisker

Stop using our tax dollars and donations to kill animals. Stop euthenizing animals and concentrate the money and efforts of shelters to find homes, care ,and rehabilitation for them.Save not destroy.Clear the shelter day proved it can be done.

Deborah Wolf

It's so sad that so many innocent and highly adoptable animals have already been killed with tax payers dollars all because of extreme incompetence on managements behalf, but hopefully with this protest comes change for the better and animals lives spared...and proper medical attention given when needed... "The Greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be defined by how it's animals are treated"... Mohatma Ghandi

Cindy Stanfield

Kill shelters absolutely must be reformed. Murdering innocent, perfectly healthy cats and dogs MUST STOP!!

ELAINE DARLOW

Stop killing,healthy,adoptable pets.Vet those in your care as law says shelters must.Get with the 21st century and go NO kill for a more financially viable system.

Virginia Nimitz

Save our animals. It's not theor fault we humans are so cruel. They can be life savers for the elderly, sick children, even our veterans. You just take the lazy and easy way out. Take the time and give a job to spmeone to train them to be care giving and loving companions.

Cathy G

Please don't hurt these beautiful animals. They have a purpose on this earth.

Carol Commodaro

STOP THE HEARTLESS SLAUGHTER , GROW A CONSCIENCE AND A SOUL ...IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER ! NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO KILL INNOCENT SOULS ..!

Nadine Davis

Rose Gallagher

Yes please stop the animal killing

Linda Knittel

LET'S GET CHANGE MADE.....NOW!!

donna quinn

The conditions of most shelters & pounds in NY are appalling. Beautiful dogs & cats that are young and very adoptable are being killed. Animal intake paperwork is being lost, also at some shelters no paperwork is done. This is allowing these poor animals fate to become bait animals or sent to animal testing facilities. We are demanding only what is humane and the right thing to do.

Lacey Spor-Ockey

We are stewards of this earth not judges or the creator of this earth and many living thinga. As stewards we should care and respect all life in all forms. It is not ours to take away life. These are innocent living creatures whom have brought no harm to society and only need the care that we should be providing. End killing animals for any selfish reasons and expressly just because they don't have a home. If they don't have a home let's build santuaries and makes jobs and homes.

Edit Zana

PLEASE STOP KILLING INNOCENT ANIMALS!!!

Madeline Kane

rome did it NYC can too!!! NO KILL NOW

Nicki Carpenter

There just really is no good reason to kill healthy dogs and cats! Even those that may need some medical care deserve a chance!!!

Compassion and humane treatment of all living beings now and always!!!

Deborah Beckerman

All animals have a right to life. Euthanizing is another word for murder. There must be services to help find homes for animals. If not adoptable, then a santuary for the rest of their natural life.

Alex Vernile

The slaughter of innocent animals must come to a complete end!!!

hortensebermudez

We will not stop until the government hears our demand for no killing of healthy animals. .our tax dollars are to be spent helping ANIMALS not destroying them...

April Morgan

Where is the kindness in humankind? I'm thankful for these protesters you show compassion and concern. Strength in numbers... positive change is possible.

STEPHANIE TAUB

STOP THE SLAUGHTER. ANIMALS ARE SO MUCH BETTER TO EACH OTHER THAN WE HUMANS COULD EVER HOPE TO BE.

H B

STOP the slaughter of animals. This country has enough money to engage in wars and pay multi-million salaries to sportsmen and celebrities. It surely can find money to build NO -KILL SHELTERS Nationwide. You are sick if you think that the country that slaughter millions of innocent animals is a free.

Vicky Hansard

Widespread killing of dogs and cats and other animals is evidently not working because the problem still exists and is widespread~~this nation is better than this~~if the suggested program is implemented (the one explained in this petition), you will see numbers drop~~those who oppose the plan set forth here, is indicating that he or she has no problem with inhumane practices~we are to be good stewards of the world we live in~be proactive instead of reactive!

Sabine Lange

Stop the slaughter

Aileen Hower

Every animal deserves a real chance at life. Save them all

Susan Davis

Stop NY pet slaughters

Raytha Poland

Fornyears I have shared the murder lists at NYACC. Coruptiin is rampant, neglect is evident and care non-existant . Way past time for a change for the better. Politics has no place in animal shelters.

lita radford

Its about time someone brings to light what others have been trying so hard to keep in the dark. Don't underestimate the passion of a true animal lover and advocate.

Shelley Blessing

put tax money towards spay/neuter - it's cheaper and more humane than euthanizing

June haggar

The corruption has gone on long enough. Stop killing innocent animals which enables the continued corruption of city and state politicians.

Linda C Artmeier

This has to stop. You are murdering beautiful innocent dogs and cats before they have a chance. STOP THE KILLING

Suzanne S.

With millions of dollars going to these ACC's year after year, the killings happening day after day and watching healthy animals come in only to die due to the epidemic URI, it's obvious this place cannot reform itself and having DOH/government oversee the welfare of animals is like watching the fox guard the hen house. Many other countries have No-Kill it's time the U.S. stop being barbaric.

Maurizio Salvetti

People from civilized Countries are watching with scorn this barbaric aspect of the City of New York. People from civilized Countries are outraged by the INCOMPETENCE AND CRUELTY that NYC ACC Staff members display everyday. People from civilized Countries ask themselves if NYC, probably the best know City in the World, deserves to also be known for being the home of such an abominable institution that is the NYC ACC. People from civilized Countries demand Authorities to look closer at what is actually going on in there. It is time to write the word END to this huge wasting of living creatures and of public money.

shelters are suppose to be a safe place for animals....shame on you all for failing them....hope you all will be held responsible...

Pattie bauer

This is an Animal Kill and Control Facility nothing more. When upper management lacks compassion and commitment it will be impossible to be no kill. No Kill is within our reach but they don't want to grasp it. They stick to the tried and true excuses but they now can be refuted. No kill is not some dream in the far off future it can be now. However, it takes concerned citizens to PARTICIPATE or else there will be no change. So inevitably it is up to us and we cannot stop making noise.

Candy O'Kelley

Please, this murdering has got to stop! The time for becoming civilized is now!

Carrie miller

All shelters are corrupt New York shelters and California. The very worst then they sell the euthanized animals tosell to dogfood co to put into dry dog and cat food the public is aware and will become more so.

Koraljka Loveless

Stop killing animals! They life is same important as humans! Humans are not better !

I believe it should be a law that all animals be spayed/neutered and no animal should be euthanised unless approved by a board unanimously that the animal is suffering or is terminal. I would not leave it to one individual. It must be board decision with room for a vet to dispute their verdict

Stop taking the lives of innocent animals. If they are homeless, it is not their fault, it is a human to blame!!! Owners discard animals like trash. MAKE THEM PAY A FEE TO SUPPORT THAT ANIMAL FOR 6 TO 12 MONTHS WHILE YOU TRY TO REHOME THAT INNOCENT FURBABY. START A VERY STIFF PENALTY WITH POSSIBLE JAIL TIME FOR NOT SPAYING/NEUTERING. HOLD THE OWNER RESPONSIBLE AND STOP KILLING THE PRECIOUS AND INNOCENT FURBABIES.

The slaughter of innocent companion animals is as unnecessary as it is vile. More effort and a greater will to find adoptable animals homes would end all the killing.

I can't believe it has to go this far for the government to DO THE RIGHT THING. STOP KILLING.

BON Mokris

ALL shelters in the USA must be NO-KILL!! NYCACC needs to hire experienced staff to help work with pets with behavior issues rather than rely on rescues to come in at the last minutes (after put on the horrible nightly 'TO BE DESTROYED LIST') to save them thus ending up in failure & resulting in senseless death. Plus the excuse to kill because animal caught CIRDC/URI's in their dirty facilities is unexceptable. There needs to be more compassion for the life animals at NYCACC & frankly ALL animals in the entire world. Their lives matter. They have feelings, emotions & feel pain as much if not more than some humans. Please stand up for them & reform NYCACC & other shelters functioning on the same levels such as MAS in TN. Its INHUMANE

Sylvia Wissmann

Unbelievable that in NYC that should be a role model the ACC still kills. Even worse they kill Pitties as if a smart person believed the nonsense about this breed being more dangerous than others! And beyond disgraceful is the fact that they're killing without sedation! Barbaric!!!!

Diane Walsham

No excuse for animal abuse but you're committing it on a daily basis, this MUST change as stated in petition letter. Also you must change PTS method from cruel heart stick and gassing to injection. Heart stick and gassing are ANIMAL ABUSE!!!

Catherine Desjarlais

This needs to be addressed,humanity,compassion, and caring for animals is vital,cruelty will not be tolerated.

I AGREE 100% IS A DISGRACE HOW ANIMALS ARE TREATED! THEY ARE LIVING BEINGS TOO AND HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIFE, PROTECTION AND TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT!

Mary Ann collins

Please stop the killing... you post the pups and kitties at 6 pm and give the until noon before cutoff time to save them there were 20 kitties on the TBD list one day. There were 15 pups on the TBD list another day. That makes it very hard to save them. They get the overnight shift for people to save them. A disgrace. . Is this how you were brought up? Also, work on eliminating backyard breeders and enforce spay and neuter. You have killed some really great pets even when there were people interested and inquired about them. All lives matter. Stop the insanity.

Tamara Charters

We need stricter, harsher Law's for people who starve, beat & used as Bait dog

john bonvicino

please stop the killing of healthy animals that are adoptable,Just because the animal is a owner surrender, has come down with the flu, may have nipped a volunteer means that the animal needs to be There lives put down.We need to have better training for the volunteers.Cameras need to installed in shelters.There needs to be more accountability.We can achieve NO KILL.There lives matter.

Elizabeth Argibay

We are at a point in history where action is the only thing left to take. We must respect and give complete consideration to the lives of all animals in the shelter system and assure them safety, comfort and an opportunity to good health and a long life. It's time to stop simply "thinking about the subject" and pushing papers around. Give NYC what it demands -- true no kill shelters.

Janine Bennett

What goes on at the nyacc is beyond unacceptable. I am sickened on a daily basis after seeing all the atrocities they commit. Killing a animal for space is not euthanasia its murder! They kill puppies,kittens that are days old.they kill animals rescues are trying to pull. They abort late term pregnancies in cats and dogs. They leave sick and injured animals in pain without proper treatment. They used expired drugs when they kill the animals&drugs that arent even approved in most areas. They dont sedate the animal first so its not like being put to sleep. The animal suffers a horrific death. They are given max 18hrs from the time theyre listed to live. If you find any of these sickening behaviors and more acceptable how can you even consider yourself a human being. I believe whole heartedly that all these demands in this petition can successfully be met. If many other large cities can go no kill so can NY! NY should be embarrassed that they continue to let these reprehensible actions continue... I will be a voice for the voiceless and you will hear me and others loud and clear!

Tabitha Totten

Linda Lefferts

I am opposed to senseless euthanasia of adoptable animals. Every living being deserves care and humane treatment.

Kristy fleischmann

A shelter is a place where you help the animal. Just like a human shelter. You do not murder them to fill your pockets. Hard working taxpayers pay for these shelters. Instead of killing these precious animals start shutting down breeders. Make pet store only have shelter pets. Start punishing animal abuse to the fullest. Start working with the community in keeping the population down. Our tax money ,donations is not for parties, cars, trips. It is for medical help for pets in need, food, bankets, roof over their head. Stop killing our animals.

Ava Watkins

Stop killing

alyce leibowitz

More residences allow PETS.

RebeccaMilvich

We must stop these senseless killing. We must preserve the lives of our animals-its a reflection of our community as a whole.do we kill our homeless and those that can't pay for healthcare..NO! Our animals are not different. They are just like people-they deserve the right to live.

ANGELA GONZALEZ

johnnie

jody dove

The lack of compassion in the public (high kill) shelter system is disgusting. They should be working with the animals, and tirelessly trying to connect these orphans with appropriate and stable families! They should also be doing and promoting low cost spay/neuter programs and using social media to the benefit of the animals. Warehousing and killing animals in substandard and inhumane jails is terrible! We need new people with some real commitment and compassion!

dawn

Stop the killing !!

Viviana Tello

Stop killing animals, they all deserve a second chance to find a home. People who abandon their animals are the ones to blame for most of these deaths, animals should not be abandoned in the first place. We must stop making excuses, we can do better. ADOPT and DON'T ABANDON.

Joan L Sample

All kill shelters need to embrace shelter reform! NYC's ACC needs to be be help accountable now! An animal shelter is supposed to be a place of hope for our homeless animals not misery and death!

Kari Robertson

Time for a major change

Jacqueline Hartman

Reform is the only choice!

Alexandria Walker

We have no right to murder them. There is absolutely no morally relevant difference between human beings and those nonhuman beings upon whom we prey. We are all self aware. We form family and social bonds and share relationships with others. The mother and child bond is particularly strong and evident across all species. We communicate; we are capable of experiencing pleasure; we are capable of experiencing suffering; and we are all capable of feeling fear. Every single one of us will seek to avoid pain. We value our lives; they matter to us. In short, we all share the quality of sentience.

Penelope Sampoli

We need a more humane, more proactive approach to managing the homeless pet population, one that makes adoption the expected outcome of taking custody of a stray animal.

Linda C Artmeier

I want the needless killing of these innocent animals stopped.

Margaret Rose

A change is long over due. 100% no kill is possible with the right people in the right positions.

Rakim Merrill

Give that scum a taste of his own medicine

Stop the killing of pets. Clean up NY ACC Centers so that healthy animals don't become sick. Do community outreach. More Spay & Neuter Clinics

Gail Clark

replace risa ans all board members...any idiot can see they arent acting in the animals interest and its blatent there is some corruption involved

Penny Raco

Everything that can be done to make every animal at every NYCACC should be done to get them adopted, fostered or rescued before they are neutered!! They should be kept well or given proper medical care, whichever they need. They should have clean, disease free buildings to stay at until they do get adopted. NYC should be protecting innocent and precious animals that for, whatever reason wind up in a shelter, through no fault of their own, and never be making a profit off their suffering!!!

Maco Kniens

Beyond a time for Change! Nycacc needs a complete overhaul - fire ALL those allowing the despicable murdering of the innocent animals in their "care!" Re-hire those with compassion who will actually help these precious beings find new homes.... Nycacc certainly doesn't even try! This is a travesty!

We are asking you to allow healthy dogs and cats to live in a clean environment. Something that the public animal shelters are not doing. Worse is killing innocent healthy animals just to make space. NYCACC are a disgrace. We are asking for the Dr. who oversees the ACC in NYC to step down and allow someone who cares to do the job.

Corinne eskenazi

No kill nation!!!!!

Maricel Court

Kelly Giannetti

This is ABSOLUTELY sickening! WHO do they think they are? God??! I think NOT! These evil people need to be taken to the middle of town so that we can inflict upon them the atrocities and torture they inflict upon these innocent, voiceless souls!!

Lorie Reichl

2018 and you murder and abuse innocent beings... this is not a shelter... you must fire all and hire people that will care and try to find homes... you are a corrupt heartless city... shame on a rich tourist city murdering innocent beings...

Barbara Meli

The ACC is a brutal, inhumane shelter. Change is long overdue.

June Bullied

a thorough investigation needs to be done here to make sure the animals are properly looked after

This is a reprehensible state of affairs and should be investigated.

Stop the killing. Other cities have gone no kill. It is appalling that New York shelters are not up to par. We are better than this.

This place is sickening. The uncaring inhumane People that run this place need to be replaced! Please get new staff to take care of these precious voiceless animals. They are voiceless and we are the voices for them. They dont deserve to be sick as soon as they enter, They also dont deserve to be dragged down the hall by force to be practiced on while alive or just put to sleep. SICKENING

Carol Ashline

We have to make this stop.People doing this are criminals.

Krys McConville

This man is a vet??? He allows animals to be in these inhumane conditions? Does nothing when they need care???

Jacqueline Daly

This is cruelty and absurdity simultaneously. Shocking, disgusting, sadistic.

gwen pelusi

Eryday you see the list of beautiful adoptable animals on the death list. This place is deplorable. This verinarian and the director Risa Weinstock are callous ignorant people who have no place working with animals. They need to be removed!!!

This system has to change. Healthy, adoptable dogs and cats are being euthanized every single day!! It is inhuman!! We need to put the “care” into Animal Care and Control.

Tamara Johnson

A shelter should aid and protect. Not lie, cover up, Spay and Kill then sell the bodies for the weight in meat’ everyone needs to go!!!

Caroline Garrett

Please save all the amazing pound animals. No kill is the only way... Life is so much better with a fur baby in it... All animals deserve a chance at life and Love....

Jane Baket

This shelter needs to educate themselves to be more compassionate, give dogs MORE TIME by renting buildings in Queens and Bronx

Ashkey

Animals have a right to live, without being tourtured. If its wronge to tourture people than its wrong to tourture animals. Most animals are more loving and kind than the human race is now adays but yet why are they the ones wrongly getting tourtured ?

These ANIMALS DESERVE LIFE!!!!!!
