Don's hot van death
Maverick's dragging death

Severe Negligence in Don's July 2019 boiling death.
Don baked to death on 7-20-2019 on the hottest day of the summer, while being transported for 4 hours in a hot ACC transport van. This van was allowed to transport with broken AC and an inexperienced and negligent staff member. This despite heat advisories sent out by the city and the ACC. Even worse, the ACC transported him the day after he was neutered. There has been no accountability for the severe negligence that led to his torturous death.

Maverick's brutal dragging death.
Maverick was dragged to his death on 5-16-19. The police officer who brought Maverick to the ACC was shocked by his brutal killing and said that Maverick was NOT aggressive.

A horrifying video was recorded on Thursday, May 9th, 2019, at the New York City pound in Manhattan. The video shows a 'euth tech' attempting to block the view of a rescue volunteer who bravely kept recording as uncaring ACC employees dragged a frightened dog named Maverick to the kill room. Maverick seemed to sense his fate and resisted his killers by lying down, showing no sign of aggression. - Petition
