New York County approves the law that has a crime for animal misuse of owning pets

Legislators in Suffolk County, New York, strengthened a law on cruelty to animals by making it a crime for convicted animal vacuum cleaners for their own pets.

The legislature of the district voted last week for the establishment of a class A offense against people in the convicted of the district, which was located as pets, according to the New York Post. The new addition to the law leads to a penalties of up to one year in prison or a fine of $ 1,000.

This is expanded by a law that the legislator issued in 2010 and that an animal abuse register has created, according to which convicted animal vacuum cleaners must add its name and contact information. The 2010 law was one of the first of its kind in the USA

Ed Romaine, Executive by County, signed the extended legislation on Wednesday after the reporters told the reporters that they were “protected animals”, according to the NYP.

“No animals abuse,” he said. “We will pursue them and follow them and we will protect our animals.”

The Suffolk County police authority and the public prosecutor entertain the register, in which 30 convicted animal consumers are currently listed. Perpetrators remain in the register for 10 years, unless they are convicted again for animal abuse. At this point, the 10-year timer begins over.

While everyone was already forbidden to own a pet because of animal abuse in the county, there was no penalties for violation of the rule.

“We are finally able to close this gap and further protect our animals,” said Suffolk Stephanie Bontempi's legislator, who sponsored legislation. “In Suffolk County we will not tolerate the abuse or neglect of animals. By closing this gap, we will make sure that those who ignore the law are confronted with consequences.”

“It is something that shouldn't even be a problem, but I am glad that we were able to receive this legislation into the books,” she added.

The extended law was signed only a few days after the dozens of dead cats found in a house in Long Island, including in a freezer and a box jump. Other cats were found alive on the poorly maintained property, which among other things had urine and feces on the soil and walls.
