Curtis & Nancy Sliwa's Animal Welfare HourAuthor: 77 WABC
The Guardian Angels Animal Protection program is moving ahead, full speed. Started by Nancy Sliwa, a cat colony caretaker for over 10 years in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, this program was started to help some of the most vulnerable and voiceless members of our society animals. Study after study has shown that those who abuse animals are more likely to abuse people. So one of the earliest ways to combat the rise of crime in society against people is to stop abuse against animals.

Episode 21: Horse Carriages Under Fire, Queens Animal Killers in Court, and Cuomo’s No-Cash Bail Loopholes
Wednesday, 24 September, 2025
On this episode, Curtis dives into three major animal welfare battles unfolding in New York City. First, the long fight to end the horse carriage industry in Central Park comes to a breaking point, with the Conservancy, City Council legislation, and even late moves from Mayor Adams all in play. Then, Curtis exposes the shocking case of Isaiah Gurley, accused of dragging, beating, and burning a pit bull in Queens, and the disturbing arrest of Christopher V, caught duct-taping and caging multiple pit bulls—both abusers released under Cuomo’s no-cash bail law. Finally, Curtis highlights the first-ever “Protect Animals” independent ballot line, calling for no-kill shelters and real jail time for animal abusers. Learn more about your ad choices.
