| Convicted Animal Abuser Registry in NY This was posted by my Veterinary on my FB, Rocky’s Law Passed Committee Hope every state would put this into law. New York Bully Crew 🚨PLEASE READ/SHARE🚨 This Is Amazing! Also, please note ANYONE caught giving an animal to any of the individuals on this registry will face a $5000 fine!! By @_____linzzz: THIS IS HUGE and needs to be implemented all over the country!!! Orange County Legislator Mike Anagnostakisis elated after Wednesday’s committee meeting outcome. In a 7-0 vote “Rocky’s Law” is one step closer to a becoming reality. It was unanimously approved to post the names of convicted animal abusers on the county website and prohibit them from acquiring other animals.”Rocky’s Law” was named after a 3-year-old Staffordshire terrier whose owner Edwardo Macedowas arrested last month for allegedly leaving his dog outside in freezing temperatures and snow in the City of Newburgh for five weeks while he went on vacation. Suffering from life-threatening injuries, Rocky hadto be euthanized.Anagnostakis’ proposal would input anyone convicted of abusing an animal in Orange County on an Internet registry. They will also be prohibited from buying or adopting an animal for 15 years, and will be required to register on an animal abuser registry within five days of their conviction or after being released from jail or prison if they are incarcerated. Not reporting convictions would be a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail and a maximum fine of $2,000 for each day they fail to register. The proposed law also has potentially stiff penalties for abusers who buy or adopt an animal and for any store, shelter or person who provides it to them. Anagnostakis contends the penalties he proposed would be the strictest in New York state.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I'm curious as to how it will work. Are the lists readily available, do they impact breeders from other states, or just those who reside in New York, and I wonder if all those internet breeders will pay attention to it since you don't have to give your real name, they take paypal accounts.
