Daniel Tyce, New Jersey Man, Posed As Female Veterinarian And Bilked Clients Out Of Thousands

VINELAND, N.J. — Police say a New Jersey man posed as a female animal doctor, ran an illegal veterinary practice and set up a phony rescue agency that may have duped pet lovers out of thousands of dollars. Vineland police arrested 26-year-old Daniel C. Tyce on Friday and charged him with practicing medicine without a license. He is being held on $10,000 bail.

Police say he ran a business called South Jersey Small Animal Rescue, falsely identifying himself as Dr. Danielle Smith, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania veterinary school.

Police say he inoculated pets and offered small animals for adoption for a fee. He also solicited donations, claiming the agency was a nonprofit. Authorities say it was not.

Police do not know if Tyce has retained a lawyer.

Rather sad situation overall, easy to mock somebody who is definitely outside the norm...but consider,
did he actually HELP or HARM animals in any way or was he just practicing without a license while doing the work?
