New ASPCA Research Analyzing NYC Animal Cruelty Cases Confirms Neglect Most Common Form of Cruelty Among Dogs
- On May 5, 2025, the ASPCA published the results of a study examining suspected incidents of animal abuse reported throughout New York City from 2013 to 2022.
- The study resulted from the ASPCA-NYPD partnership starting in 2014, which enabled coordinated efforts to investigate and respond to animal cruelty across the city.
- Over a nine-year span, the ASPCA collaborated with the NYPD to handle suspected animal cruelty incidents citywide, receiving animals from nearly 2,800 reported cases across all precincts and housing districts, with dogs representing more than four-fifths of the victims, primarily due to neglect.
- ASPCA president Matt Bershadker highlighted that over ten years of collaboration between agencies has proven successful in enhancing the detection and legal action against cases of animal abuse.
- The findings highlight the need to treat animal neglect as seriously as abuse and to improve protection for vulnerable animals, especially cats, while ASPCA expands care capacity with a new Pawling facility in 2025.
