Since 1874, the support of caring donors
like you has funded the East Bay SPCA's innovative, compassionate solutions
to prevent cruelty to animals, educate the public and save lives.
The annual luncheon, held at the ASPCA Adoption Center, celebrated our NYPD Partnership and recognized those who have played critical roles in
preventing, investigating and prosecuting cases of
animal cruelty and neglect in 2017 — roles
like that of Deputy Chief James Luongo, whose commitment
to this partnership has elevated the issue of
animal welfare for all members of the NYPD; Detective Walter Brant, who is an NYPD Community Affairs Officer and has consistently worked
to engage the public with the ASPCA's message through community events
like National Night Out; Police Officer Danielle Venuto, whose work and dedication
to animal welfare has extended
to the rescue and successful placement of dozens of dogs; or Detectives Matthew Edelman and Jonathan Kalman, who saw a Facebook ® video of
animal cruelty and took immediate action that resulted in the arrest of a perpetrator and saved the life of a cat named Chester.
Organizations
like PETA would be free
to fight against
cruelty to zombies if they chose
to and still maintain their tax - exempt status, as Congress allows the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
to grant tax - exempt status
to organizations that are organized
to prevent cruelty to animals.
