Stacy Wolf
Senior Vice President, Anti-Cruelty Group
Stacy Wolf comes from a family of animal advocates, which has instilled in her a sense of purpose. Growing up in a home where her parents, Richard and Ina Wolf, provided safe havens for stray animals and used their resources to ensure those sames animals were able to thrive in what many would call less fortunate circumstances. Since then, Stacy Wolf has helped paved the way for ensuring justice is served in regards to animal cruelty. She is credited as one of the largest contributors to creating New York State's legislature regarding felony animal cruelty and exotic pet bans. Over the span of several decades, Miss Wolf has cemented herself as a servant leader in not only state and federal legislature, but also by pioneering the Anti-Cruelty Group within the ASPCA.
After assisting New York State to ensure animal abusers would be held accountable, Stacy Wolf was the trailblazer in 2010 that led to the realization of the Intervention Advocacy program - the program promoted as a way to prevent cruelty even before it happens by providing long-term solutions. When asked how she compared the violent nature of crimes against humans versus animals, she indicated that unfortunately, there is no way to properly compare them, but "...what we do know is that penalties for animal cruelty have increased in recent years..." and by increasing awareness, there is a greater chance of increasing reports made to the proper authorities and thus more investigations that could deter future cruelty.
According to our Leadership chapter, it is easy to assess that Stacy Wolf is a servant leader because she serves others, internally and externally, by working tirelessly to fulfill the needs and goals of ASPCA volunteers, employees and supporters as well as achieving ASPCA's mission: "to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States."
