George Bengal, Pennsylvania SPCA Director of Humane Law Enforcement, Loses his Life to Cancer at 69
It is with deep sadness that the Pennsylvania SPCA announces the death of George Bengal, the organizations Director of Humane Law Enforcement, this evening, June 18, 2016, at the age of 69. He died at Holy Redeemer Hospital in Jenkintown, PA, with his wife, Carole, and daughter Lisa at his bedside.
George spent his life fighting for the justice of others. He served in Vietnam before beginning his career as a Philadelphia police officer and ultimately spending 20 years advocating for animals as a Humane Law Enforcement leader. He and his teams have saved thousands of animals, brought hundreds of criminals to justice, and been the voice for the voiceless.
A tireless animal advocate, George built Humane Law Enforcement operations at several Philadelphia-area animal organizations, including the Womens Humane Society, the Delaware County SPCA, and the Pennsylvania SPCA, where he had been the Director of Humane Law Enforcement since 2007. Under his leadership, the PSPCAs force has grown into one of the countrys largest and most respected Humane Law Enforcement teams.
