Can the PSPCA be saved? No-kill leader posting horrifying save rates.

Quote:
FOR PHILADELPHIA'S homeless animals, the hits - hard ones - keep on coming.
As the Animal Care and Control Team, operated by the Pennsylvania SPCA, tries to claw its way back to the animal life-saving levels achieved by its predecessor, the PSPCA has endured a death duel between two leaders, while financial collapse looms. If the PSPCA closes, who will protect animals and prosecute cruelty?
In the year since ACCT took over the city animal-control contract from the Philadelphia Animal Care and Control Association, the number of dogs and cats killed by the city has gone up, not down.
After posting poor save rates from May through October - hitting bottom in August with an awful 24 percent - ACCT worked its way back to a 55 percent save rate, dogs and cats combined, in November. (The save rate is higher for dogs than for cats, which sank to a horrifying 17 percent in August.)
