FILE -This 2004 photo provided by Animal Planet shows investigator Annemarie Lucas of the Humane Law Enforcement division of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with a rescued dog in New York. ASPCA agents wore uniforms, flashed badges, carried guns, traveled in blue-and-white squad cars, and for years starred in “Animal Precinct,” as did Lucas, but as of this month, the ASPCA laid off almost all of its 18 law enforcement agents and is now leaving those responsibilities solely to the New York City Police Department.
