“law enforcement agents from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals arrested Monique Smith, 19, along Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick.”

Does anyone else have a problem with the American SOCIETY for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals having law enforcement agents with the power to arrest people they don’t like...or is it just me?

Wait just a minute - the ASPCA has law enforcement people? I wonder if they’re allowed to shoot dogs too?

"The Humane Law Enforcement Division is the police branch of the ASPCA staffed by 20 armed New York State peace officers who respond to reports of animal cruelty in marked ASPCA patrol cars in the New York City area as well as perform undercover operations. The officers are empowered through NYS Criminal Procedure Law and NY Agriculture and Markets laws to investigate allegations of animal abuse, seize animals being abused, and make arrests for the prosecution for animal cruelty. In 2000, the ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement Division received 33,000 calls for service which resulted in 55 arrests, 30 summonses issued, and 537 animal seizures."

Scary. Just what we need are more police

I don’t like these people in the story either. So why do you have a problem with the ASPCA arresting people I DO NOT LIKE?

They aren’t arresting people they don’t like... they are arresting people who abuse animals. There ARE laws against animal abuse, you know.
