SPCA, Sheriff, District Attorney

Form Animal Cruelty Task Force

COOPERSTOWN – The Susquehanna SPCA will partner with the Otsego County Sheriff's Department and the District Attorney's office to look at creating a task force dedicated to combating animal cruelty in the county.

“In addition to having a system in place for when we do have animal cruelty cases involving animal seizures, we plan to educate and empower law enforcement and the public about the humane treatment of animals and what we can do if we suspect cruelty,” said Stacie Haynes, executive director of the Susquehanna SPCA, in a statement.
