Several complaints have been filed against the Montgomery County SPCA, and now those complaints are leading to action from federal officialsVolunteers and workers with the Montgomery County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals staged a protest Tuesday afternoon, claiming there are problems with kennel conditions for the animals, sanitary issues, and a high euthanasia rate.
The protestors were set up outside the SPCA's main shelter on Ridge Pike in Conshohocken, holding signs that called for a change in management and a change in how animals, employees, and even volunteers are treated."I adopted a dog here 30 years ago, and honestly, nothing has changed in that kennel area for 30 years," SPCA Volunteer Anne Anaspach told NBC10.
Volunteers said age hasn't been kind to the kennels, and broken cages have led to animal injuries and even escapes."Three dogs broke out of the kennels that are broken and unfortunately attacked one of the other dogs. And the two dogs that started the fight were then put on the euthanasia list," said volunteer Allie Beihl.NBC 10 was there as state inspectors showed up at the SPCA for a surprise inspection on Tuesday. They arrived over an hour before the protestors did.
