The New Jersey SPCA has sued Camden County College and the operators of a
Gloucester Township animal shelter, claiming students illegally practiced
invasive medical procedures on shelter dogs.
The complaint, filed Thursday, alleges students in a two-year veterinary
technician program performed procedures including urinary catheterizations on
animals before they were euthanized.
During the procedure, the lawsuit says, the dogs sometimes were inadequately
anesthetized.The procedures took place between April and July 2000, [Note:
2002] according to the suit.
Individual defendants include the Humane Society of Southern New Jersey,
which has a contract through August to operate the animal shelter on
Barnsboro-County House Road; Peggy Dorsey, director of the veterinary technician program
and a trustee of the humane society, and unnamed individuals and corporations.
Richard Perr, an attorney who is chairman of the Humane Society of Southern
New Jersey, said Friday the allegations are baseless.
