Awareness about SPCA in CNY

This isn’t just a failure. It’s a betrayal.
I’ve been quiet lately, but I’m done biting my tongue. Finally, the silence is breaking—and what’s being revealed is sickening. For years, we’ve watched this organization decline while those in charge looked the other way.

The latest news isn't just "sad"—it's a scandal. When a nearby shelter went in to rescue 10 animals, they were so horrified by the neglect they saw that they couldn't leave the others behind. They took 30. They walked into a place that is supposed to be a sanctuary and found a nightmare instead.

The most chilling part? A rescuer stated that if she heard of any other group treating animals this way, she would call the SPCA to have them shut down immediately.

Her response this time? "This time, it’s them." Let that sink in. The very organization built to save these animals—is the one they now need saving from.

They want us to move on because the old board resigned. But I have questions:

Where did this "new" board come from overnight?

Who vetted them, and do they have ties to the same people who let this happen for years?

Where has the State been? Why was this allowed to fester?

Why is there still zero accountability for the damage already done?

You can’t just put a new face on a rotten foundation. In my opinion, this place needs to be shut down, gutted, and started fresh. You don't get to ask for "trust" after you've spent years breaking it.

We don't want promises. We want a total investigation. We want the truth. And we want justice for the souls who were left to suffer in silence.

🐾 Urgent Call for Transparency: Update on CNY SPCA Investigation
​We, the members of the Awareness About CNY SPCA community, are making a formal, public request for an update regarding the ongoing investigation into the Central New York SPCA by the New York State Attorney General's Office.
​While concerns about animal welfare and operational issues began circulating in late 2024, it was not until February 2025 that the official investigation into serious allegations of animal cruelty and mismanagement was publicly acknowledged. The community remains deeply concerned by this extended period of silence and is awaiting communication.
​Our Core Request
​We respectfully urge the Office of the New York State Attorney General to issue an official statement on the status, scope, and projected timeline of this investigation.
​Transparency is essential for maintaining public trust, especially when the welfare of vulnerable animals is at stake.
​Accountability for the care of animals entrusted to a major regional shelter must be prioritized.
​The lack of any public update since the investigation's confirmation in February 2025 is unacceptable, creating fear and uncertainty within the CNY community that has overwhelmingly supported this cause.
​Call to Action
​We encourage all concerned citizens to join us in seeking an update by:
​Sharing this post to amplify our request.
​Contacting the New York State Attorney General’s Office to respectfully inquire about the status of the investigation.
​We will continue to advocate for full transparency and decisive action to ensure that all animals in Central New York are protected and treated humanely.
​
​📣 TAKE ACTION: CONTACT THE NY STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE
​To respectfully inquire about the status of the investigation into the CNY SPCA, please use the contact information for the Office of the Attorney General (OAG):

I was just reminded by Facebook that this page has been around for 8 years. 8 Years!. I started this page to make a change, to bring awareness, to fight. But honestly? It just breaks my heart that after all this time, this page is still necessary.
​Nothing has changed. NOTHING. The very same issues are STILL happening. They are still adopting out sick animals with forged paperwork. They are still being rude, cruel, and downright discriminatory to adopters. The conditions these animals are living in are a disgrace, still not meeting even basic standards. They still violate laws, they still hide information that should be public, and they are still posting lie after lie about animals' stories, health, and temperament to get donations.
​After 8 years of this, I have to ask. WHY does this page still have to exist? Why has nothing changed? The new reviews are just more proof that the same old pain and cruelty are still happening. And it's infuriating.
