1. Zoning Battle Continues Over Pet Hospice
The Town of Smithtown’s Board of Zoning Appeals continues to give Fort
Salonga’s Angel’s Gate Animal Hospice a hard time about zoning laws due to
complaints from neighbors. Did those neighbors ever consider who they would
consult should one of their pets become terminally ill or severely injured and
then need special critical care? Apparently not. Hospice Director Susan Marino
is highly regarded on Long Island as an expert in animal hospice care, and her
methods have been used as a model across the country. Animal welfare advocates
are standing strong, networking in favor of Angel’s Gate and saying they will
fight to the end to support this greatly needed organization.
