NYC DOH ACC Propaganda vs. the Killing of Cornflakes

An adopter stepped up to save "gentle giant" Cornflakes from death row. Instead ACC killed him and banned the applicant for life.

The Scoop New York is a website and newsletter covering the movement for a true no-kill New York State, from BUF to BK. NYC ACC KILLS, published by TSNY, enumerates and memorializes adoptable cats and dogs who were exterminated by Animal Care Centers of New York City.

Cornflakes had a home waiting, but an ACC New Hope rescue botched the handoff. Afterward, ACC dog placement coordinator Isabella Lara decided Cornflakes’ life wasn’t worth a follow-up phone call, condemning him to the ash pile to avoid doing her job.

This week, the non-profit contractor currently known as Animal Care Centers of New York City marked the fourth Friday since the system closed to public intakes, in violation of ACC’s 34-year, $1.4B contract with New Yorkers as an open admission shelter.

ACC extermination chambers, of course, continue to tick like a TAG Heuer. Just ask Jillian Harbison.
