How New York Protected Animals The New York state legislature adjourned on June 20 after passing three critical measures for animals. Lawmakers approved bills to: protect sharks by banning the sale of their fins; end the possession of feral pigs at canned hunts; and strengthen laws that regulate crowded, filthy puppy mills. Additionally, they defeated a law that would have legalized the harmful trapping of snapping turtles, the official state reptile. We will continue to work with legislators and other animal advocates over the interim so that we are ready when the legislature reconvenes in January. Now that the legislative session is over, your elected officials are home in their districts. It’s the perfect time to call them and ask for a meeting. Let them know you care about the protection of animals. To find out more, check out our Advocate Toolkit here.
