Animal Cruelty

UPDATE 8/26: As response efforts continue in the aftermath of the devastating Louisiana floods spanning East Baton Rouge and Lafayette Parish, the ASPCA’s assistance has extended into another week. We continue to work with the National Animal Rescue and Sheltering Coalition (NARSC) at the request of Louisiana State Animal Response Team (LSART) with the sheltering and daily care of approximately 300 affected companion animals.

UPDATE 8/10: Since late July, the ASPCA has been on the ground in Westport, MA, assisting in a massive farm animal cruelty case. All of the animals have been removed from the scene and transported to safety. The majority are currently being sheltered and cared for at a temporary shelter set up and operated by the ASPCA, while a small number have been place with various rescue organizations.
