Richard J. Perr, Esq., et al. files classic SLAPP suit against activists  
    
       The vendor, currently known as the Humane Society of Southern NJ, of 
the county funded Camden County Animal Shelter under the direction of its board 
president of Richard J. Perr, Esq., instituted a SLAPP suit against 
Compassion for Camden and PAWS NJ, both of Cherry Hill, NJ. Compassion for Camden was 
responsible for uncovering pound seizure at the Camden County Animal Shelter. 
An activity that the group does not deny, they call it: "Advancing [our] humane 
purpose by promoting animal education."

The SLAPP arrived prior to a Camden County sponsored shelter evaluation by 
the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).  



Their SLAPP states, among other things, that we “provoked the NJ SPCA to 
investigate and prompted former employees to offer perjured affidavits.” 



How preposterous!  



SLAPP suits are nothing new. A SLAPP suit, which stands for strategic 
litigation 

against public participation, is an easy and often relatively inexpensive 
device available for shutting up members of the public who voice opposition.

Common sense dictates that Richard J. Perr, Esq. (of the law firm Fineman, 
Krekstein &Harris, P.C., Haddonfield, NJ) has gone to extraordinary lengths to 
cover-up the horrors at the Camden County Animal Shelter in order to protect 
his career as a lawyer and a politician. Including, having someone sneak into 
one of our meetings with a tape recorder!  

    

The Richard J. Perr, Esq. et al. SLAPP has been submitted to the court by 
Charles 

Shimberg, Esq. and Timothy J. Szuhaj, Esq., of Haddonfield, NJ. Additional 
efforts on the part of these lawyers to destroy us include requests for IRS and 
Attorney General investigations. We hope these agencies will find time for 
this. 



Judging by the Haddonfield attorneys’ letterhead and website, they appear to 
be associates of New Jersey Assemblyman Louis D. Greenwald, Esq. 
                                      

In addition to Perr, the rest of the SLAPPers seem to be made up of the 
following 

board members: Edward Sheehan, DVM, Camden, NJ. Kristin Walker. James Clarke. 
Peggy Dorsey, Camden County College (vet tech program), Blackwood, NJ. Glenn 
McCleery, current Shelter Director. Nicholas Troiano. Susan Van Ackooy. Jay 
Feinman. Robert Wright. Shawn Huber. 



We will not be silenced. Instead, we will continue to demand justice for the 
animals who suffered and died at the hands of monsters in an impoundment 
facility called the Camden County Animal Shelter, located in Blackwood, NJ.
