JERSEY CITY AND HOBOKEN — The state Department of Health and Senior Services is giving Liberty Humane Society of Jersey City two weeks to clean up conditions described in a seven-page report detailing why the shelter has failed another state inspection, published reports said.
Earlier this month the state gave the shelter, which has animal control contracts with Jersey City and Hoboken, one week to correct inhumane conditions observed during an inspection that allegedly found animals being kept in cages too small, leaky pipes and other maintenance issues, improper storage of food, insect infestation, and unacceptable sanitation conditions.
Residents and animal advocates have written to the Hudson Reporter recently complaining about the shelter’s euthanasia policy, claiming animals have been put to sleep who could have been put up for adoption.
Last week critics of the shelter set up a Facebook page. Read our story about it and find a link to the page
