Breaking: Another leader leaves shelter that handles Jersey City and Hoboken's animals

JERSEY CITY, HOBOKEN AND BEYOND -- Stacie DaBolt, the shelter manager at the sometimes controversial Liberty Humane Society animal shelter (LHS) in Jersey City -- which has a contract to deal with stray and found animals in Jersey City and Hoboken -- resigned on Sept. 28 after seven months on the job, an official there confirmed on Tuesday.

The resignation comes close to a year after the shelter became embroiled in lawsuits with past volunteers over disagreements regarding the euthanasia policy.

"We wish her well in her future endeavors,"said John Hanussack, LHS board president, who declined to elaborate on why DaBolt left. He said her departure came as a surprise but that it was her choice. The board is soliciting the advice of former board members and is looking to bring on a new shelter manager.

"We will be fine," he said. "It is obviously going to be a challenge with everything that went on last summer."

During the interim, staff will step in to fill manager responsibiltities such as the director of development, Irene Borngraeber.

DaBolt joined the shelter seven months ago and was previously field operations manager for the Arizona Humane Society, overseeing animal cruelty investigations. She ran an emergency triage program, the only one of its kind. She also appeared in a documentary for Animal Cops Phoenix on the Animal Planet channel.

In an article that appeared recently in the Reporter newspapers, DaBolt talked about the challenges that the shelter was facing, and how they would overcome them. Last year, the shelter struggled after poor results in a state inspection. Former volunteers had complained vocally about the numbers of animals euthanized at the shelter, and how the decisions were made.

Is Liberty Humane imploding? Board president Al Martino is no more. Treasurer Janice Kruk is no more. Laura Moss member is no more.

Those remaining on the board are not qualified nor experienced enough to lead LHS not to mention making it fiscally whole.

Looks like it is not settled at all.

"Olivieri said yesterday morning that MOST of the charges are not in his jurisdiction, and referred them to Hudson County Superior Court's law division."

Shame that Liberty started all these lawsuits. Very reckless IMHO.

Motion filed against the Liberty Humane Society
January 16th, 2011 1:38 pm ET.Do you like this story?
On Friday, January 14th, a motion for an Order To Show Cause was filed in Jersey City against the Liberty Humane Society (LHS) and former LHS board member, officer, and LHS attorney Diana H. Jeffrey of Bloomfield, NJ.

The order seeks immediate injunctive relief by asking for a court appointed receiver to be placed in control of LHS, located at 235 Jersey City Boulevard in Jersey City, NJ, as well as to:

ensure money is not diverted anywhere other than for day to day operating expenses
freeze of bank accounts and assets unless approved by the court appointed receiver
institute a humane euthanasia policy for animals too ill or injured to be rescued or sent to a rescue or foster
The court order also seeks:

to immediately bar LHS from destroying any additional records
to compel LHS to cease any unlawful acts including but not limited to the abuse of animals, misappropriation of funds, falsification of documents
to bar former LHS board member, former officer, and attorney Diana H. Jeffrey of the law firm of Myerowitz, Jeffrey, Glidden in Bloomfield, NJ to immediately cease the harassment and, or, intimidation of any witness or potential witnesses, or individuals critical of LHS.
This order is being sought after her recent barrage of threats at a recent LHS board meeting. During the board meeting, Jeffrey was recorded telling bystanders that those who have opposed her and have been critical of her ?deserved to be killed!?

Additionally, Jeffrey implicated current Treasurer Janice Kruk of Weehawken, NJ for fraud and falsifying euthanasia numbers in an email that was recently uncovered and made public in a recent chancery action lawsuit filed on behalf of concerned citizens and two animal rights groups. Jeffrey resigned abruptly after this email surfaced. In addition to Jeffrey?s charges against Kruk, reliable sources indicate that she has made charges of alleged animal abuse by former shelter manager Aurora Piacentino of Jersey City, NJ.

Jeffrey is also alleged to have left threatening and intimidating messages and phone calls to witnesses who have been subpoenaed including former Director of Development Janet Russell. An immediate relief decision should be granted as early as this week in Jersey City Court.

In addition to the above action, Jeffrey is scheduled to stand trial on February 7 at 9:00AM in Jersey City Court on criminal charges of making threats and harassment.
