In your own words, in your own way, please let her know how disappointed you are. Ask her to step in and protect the animals she is pledged to protect.

An ASPCA sponsored quick kill bill in NYS eliminates the holding period for scared cats, feral cats, shy dogs, and traumatized animals by granting shelters the legal authority to kill animals for being in “psychological pain” immediately on intake.
