One of the first things that you should do is find out how the SPCA is funded. If it is funded by tax dollars (either state or local), then you are eligible to raise issues with the officials. These are your elected officials and if there are enough people who get upset about the conditions (e.g. reading about it in the paper) then you might be able to get the officials to do something about it.

Since you are based in State College there is likely a PETA or some other animal rights group active at Penn State. Get in touch with them and they might have some ideas for you.
