A PETITION TO REPLACE THE CURRENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF NYCACC
- by: Brooklyn Animal Foster Network
- recipient: Animal Lovers and Advocates Everywhere
PETITION
In October of 07, the Board of Directors of Animal Care and Control hired Ms. Charlene Pedrolie, a business woman to run NYC's Animal Care & Control. Since that time the Board has inexplicably stood by and watched as mass resignations of key personnel and firings of long term, dedicated employees and volunteers have decimated the ACC into the nearly unrecognizable entity it is today.
There is a crisis of management at NYCACC, the municipal kill shelter system which intakes 44,000 homeless animals every year.
This petition is calling for the NYC Council and Mayor Bloomberg to convene an emergency hearing to create an Animal Care Task Force to oversee the replacement of the existing Board of Directors of NYCACC which has created this crisis.
The very board which hired Charlene Pedrolie without a shred of animal sheltering or medical experience, to promote their agenda and to ignore the No-Kill Mandate. Ms. Pedrolie's unenlightened change of protocols and abusive bullying of staff have resulted in mass resignations and an enormous turnover of staff. Suspension of animal rescuers has caused the needless euthanasia of adoptable animals.
Did you know that in the richest city in the world, the Department of Health under funds the NYCACC, providing less than half of what is recommended by humane professionals.
Did you know that according to law, New York City is required to have five full-time, full-service animal shelters. We currently have only three.
Concerns abound about the invisibility of the city shelters due to the lack of advertising dollars which could build awareness around the centers. Ask anyone where the homeless animals are in NYC and they will tell you the ASPCA or BideAwee. Most have never even heard of NYCACC. So thousands and thousands cats, rabbits and dogs a year languish in obscurity resulting in an endless slaughter of innocents.
The Board Members making the decisions for NYCACC are incapable of thinking like animal advocates. Even though advocacy for the animals is what they were appointed to execute.
Charlene Pedrolie inherited Animal Care and Control at the peak of its success and immediately began ignoring protocols, and missing key opportunities for lifesaving and financial growth.
Promotions of inexperienced, uncaring and untrained AC&C staff bungling has resulted in an avalanche of documentation to the office of Council Member Tony Avella. When Board Members do not act to protect an agency by not hiring an experienced, passionate animal advocte and letting their hiree run their agency it into the ground, they fail in their role as trustees.
When they ignore turmoil or when they see staff and volunteers resigning en masse without responding, they also fail.

Tell him you eagerly await those results! Particularly the "Killed for Space" results. Call Avella's District Office Phone 718-747-2137 now!
Call the new Commissioner of the Department of Health and Hygiene, Dr. Thomas A. Farley who now oversees the ACC.
