PRESS RELEASE: Wellsville, NY, April 28, 2010 — The SPCA Serving Allegany County is pleased to announce the creation of a Cruelty Investigations Unit to educate the public, investigate allegations of animal cruelty and aid in the prosecution of crimes within the county. Effective May 1, 2010, the SPCA will have four part-time investigators with jurisdiction extending to the four corners of Allegany County. On April 28, 2010 Judge Thomas P. Brown, Allegany County Judge, swore in our Cruelty Investigators. Anyone who would like to report acts of domestic or commercial animal cruelty can call 585-268-9600 to file a report and can always dial 911 for emergencies. All reports of cruelty are CONFIDENTIAL. Although local dog control officers will continue to handle animal-at-large complaints, the new investigation unit will be instrumental in the investigation and prosecution of animal cruelty here in the county. Typically, animal cruelty is a misdemeanor, however, depending on circumstances it can be a felony. Special thanks go out to the Allegany County Sheriff’s Office who has been instrumental in the conception and logistics of this investigations unit. The SPCA Serving Allegany County is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that relies solely on private donations to offer services in the county and is located at 1374 State Route 19 South, P.O. Box 381, Wellsville, NY 14895.
