Animal rights activists rallied Thursday against the Humane Society of New York in dramatic fashion for failing to allow animal adoptions following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Led by Donny Moss, a writer for animal rights newsletter thierturn.net, protesters set up a large cage outside the animal shelter located at 306 East 59th Street in order to demonstrate what they say animals are experiencing–locked behind bars. Activists charge that Humane Society adoptions have almost completely halted for two and a half years, leaving many dogs and cats confined without the prospect of adoption.
“We will continue to provide innovative, high-quality veterinary care, work tirelessly to match our animals with their forever home, and bring education and awareness to animal protection issues throughout New York,” a statement on the Humane Society’s website reads. “Don’t you care? Cats and dogs are in despair!” protesters chanted as they held signs around the cage.
Bonnie Tischler was an adoption director for 22 years at the Humane Society of New York before she retired. She adamantly states that before her retirement there was never a situation of animals languishing in cages, now she has joined in protest against the alleged warehousing.
