Please call and email the Lackawanna officials and ask why this animal killer is still on the job and not charged with animal cruelty. Keep him away from animals and fire him.

*UPDATE-July 8, 2008*: http://www.wivb.com/global/story.asp?s=8532852
Felony charge against Mr. Grasso have been dismissed. His next hearing has been moved to the nearby town of West Seneca, NY. A hearing date has yet to be scheduled.
Lackawanna animal control officer was arrested Friday after an SPCA investigation determined he shot three stray cats, authorities said.
Frederick S. Grasso, 60, who is charged with aggravated animal cruelty, is accused of killing two kittens and their mother Tuesday at an apartment complex on Eagan Drive in Lackawanna.
Grasso, who will be arraigned in Lackawanna City Court, could face two years in jail and be fined $5,000.
A resident of the apartment complex initially called the SPCA to report strays prowling outside the building, and Barbara Carr, executive director of the SPCA, said the SPCA began receiving tips about the shootings Tuesday night.
On Friday, SPCA Animal Cruelty Investigator Charles Braun lodged the felony charges against Grasso.
It is believed that Grasso disposed of the cats in a landfill, authorities said. End.
Lackwanna Mayor Norman Polanski responded by saying this case is a publicity stunt by the SPCA?

Why is this animal control officer still on the job??? There is something Seriously wrong with the officers who work for the Lackawanna police dept!!!! They are mean!!!
Why is this animal control officer still on the job? He should be fired with no benefits. Then, he should be prosecuted for abuse not only of animals but of the authority his job gave him.
Je pensais qu'un policier était là pour que les crimes et délits soient punis,en fait c'est lui qui en commet! Il faut le punir sévérement!
Si la preuve est faite que c'est lui qui tue de ses mains avec du fil de fer ces animaux pourquoi le garde -t-on dans la police et ne le punit on pas? c'est monstrueux ,incroyable!
Why is this animal control officer still on the job?
This is the 2nd animal cop in 6 months who assaulted/killed an animal in the Western NY area.
What the hell??? Why are these animal officers still on the job?

I thought that these Animal Police were hired to protect animals?
In my opinion, any Officer who is supposed to protect animals and instead kills them, especially a Mother Cat & her 2 Kittens should be fined and also sacked, he has no regard for animals so he should'nt be in the job!!!!!
This mess makes me wana take people out one by one bcuz they deserve it for committing acts like this...........and u can quote me on it
