It's a big issue, said Matt Stanton of Trenton, N.J.-based public affairs firm MBI GluckShaw, a spokesman for the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NJSPCA).
NJSPCA is an all-volunteer organization, with no fulltime staff and a budget of barely a half-million dollars while ASPCA spends more than that annually with one of its telemarketing vendors.
