APRIL IS PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS MONTH
Animal cruelty is defined as intentionally inflicting physical pain, suffering or death to an animal. The forms of abuse vary greatly.
What should you do if you suspect cruelty to an animal?
Contact the Suffolk County SPCA or your local law enforcement agency.
As a witness, you will need to be able to provide information about the situation, such as:
WHAT is happening, i.e. a description of the incident(s) - this may include information about an animal's physical condition and/or an act that was committed against the animal.
WHO is committing the offense - name & description of the person or persons, as well as a description of their vehicle (if applicable) with a license plate number - as much information as you can gather.
WHERE is the incident occurring - specific location, including address & cross streets.
WHEN did the incident occur - date & time.
Roy Gross, Chief of the Suffolk SPCA said that animals are a beloved and cherished member of our families and play a positive role in the lives of many of our residents.
Please help us protect Suffolk County's animals!
"Protecting Suffolk County's animals is the only job we do!"
