The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has granted almost $30,000 to different animal welfare and law enforcement agencies to benefit their anti-cruelty programs.
The grants were given to:
– Tulsa SPCA in Tulsa, Okla.: $10,000 to fund its animal cruelty investigator position and allow for additional training on cruelty investigations and response
– Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control in Fort Wayne, Ind.: $8,000 to purchase forensic crime scene equipment and supplies that will enhance the quality of its animal cruelty investigations
– Union County Humane Society in Marysville, Ohio: $5,000 to help fund its anti-cruelty response services and costs associated with sheltering animals seized from cruelty cases
– Madison County Sheriff├óΓé¼Γäós Office in Wampsville, N.Y.: $4,400 to provide training for its newly created humane investigator position and purchase equipment to effectively conduct animal cruelty investigations
– Dane County Humane Society in Madison, Wis.: $2,000 to acquire safety equipment to humanely handle seized animals housed at its main shelter and the Four Lakes Wildlife Center.
The ASPCA is making sure that these agencies are able to stay at the top of their game when it comes to helping the animals.
The ASPCA’s grants officer said:
“Through these grants, the ASPCA is able to empower agencies to investigate and bring justice for animal cruelty victims in their communities.
It├óΓé¼Γäós encouraging to see that more groups are recognizing the importance of addressing animal cruelty and allocating resources to further advance their capabilities in responding to incidents on a local level.”
We’re so glad that organizations like the ASPCA exist and we’re certainly glad that they’ve got deep pockets!!
