About NYC ACC KILLS monthly memoriam posts
Information in NYC ACC KILLS memoriam posts is drawn from the NYC ACC “at-risk outcomes” list. As evidenced by its monthly and annual outcome data reports, however, ACC kills far more cats and dogs than appear on the at-risk list. ACC exterminates many healthy and adoptable cats and dogs without first offering them for adoption. Victims of this ACC practice are known among advocates as “silent kills.”
Due to gaps in NYC ACC record-keeping, memoriam posts are, sadly, bound to be incomplete. Names of exterminated animals we miss will be added after publication when possible.
The Scoop New York tries to publish photos or videos of each animal, but images of cats and dogs exterminated by NYC ACC are often not available. Names and images obtained after publication may be added later.
If you’re with a rescue, or you’re an NYC ACC volunteer, and would like to contribute images of cats and dogs killed by ACC, please contact TSNY.
NYC ACC April outcome data
CATS KILLED THIS MONTH: 100
DOGS KILLED THIS MONTH: 143
Note that ACC omits from its “euthanasia” totals owner-surrendered animals who were exterminated without being offered for adoption. Placement rates reported by ACC do not include such cats and dogs, but they are counted among the dead by TSNY.
Cats and dogs who ACC classifies as “passed” or “lost” in their care are named and counted by TSNY, among the cats and dogs ACC destroyed with intent.
