A hearty thanks to Governor Cuomo for enacting this important legislation to allow local communities throughout New York State to enact more stringent regulations of pet stores and puppy mills to bolster the very basic animal welfare and consumer protection standards that NY state law affords.
The heartbreaking recent incident in Sprakers, New York where nearly 100 dogs were left in deplorable conditions at a breeding operation during the recent frigid weather (all in accordance with the minimum state law standards of care for dogs) was a sad reminder of why this type of home-rule legislation is so important to local communities.
Hats off to NYS Assemblywoman Rosenthal and Senator Grisanti who sponsored and pushed this bill through as well as to HSUS and the ASPCA who continue to work to create a more humane world for animals by championing such important legislation as this. For the animal lovers out there, it’s important to give both to local shelters (who take in and care for abused and homeless animals) but also to animal protection organizations such as these which are doing such wonderful work to improve laws for animals in order to prevent or reduce such cruel treatment to begin with.
