NJ 101.5 radio hosts under fire for alleged comments on animal cruelty

NJ 101.5 radio hosts Dennis Malloy, Judi Franco and Ray Rossi are under fire after controversial conversations they had on air last week about animal abuse.

During a mid-day and overnight radio show on May 21, hosts brought up the topic of animal abuse and Sammy, the Cocker Spaniel that was abused and brought to the Associated Humane Society in Tinton Falls in a plastic bag and covered in urine.

Posts on social media said Malloy and Franco said animal rights activists need to get their priorities straight, while a statement from 101.5 said “there were spirited discussions of the relative importance of human rights and animal rights, as well as the passions of animal rights proponents, which involved calls from audience members.”

A tweet was also sent by @JLNunyabusiness to Franco stating "R U not aware that animals feel pain, fear, emotion just like us? Would U like 2B concreted in your own urine & feces? Starved?" Franco, using the Twitter handle @judifranco, replied stating, “actually they don't. But thanks for listening!!"

The tweet and Franco’s account have since been deleted.
