Jonathan “Jack” Cooper has resigned as shelter director for SPCA of Bradley County.
Jack BurkeCLEVELAND, Tenn. – Jack Cooper, the animal shelter director for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Bradley County, resigned on Saturday, six days after the facility opened its doors.
“I had a difference in philosophy regarding shelter management and general operations,” Cooper said.
Neither Cooper nor Beth Foster, media coordinator for the organization, would elaborate on what differences the former director might have had with the SPCA of Bradley County.
Cooper’s resignation letter gave no more details, but it stated that he left “without animosity,” Foster said.
The resignation did not surprise at least some members of the SPCA.
