Only five weeks are left to this legislative session in Albany. Please take action on the CACB (Consolidated Animal Crimes Bill). Do not let it die at the end of this session. Too many crimes against animals are being processed under the lesser Market and Agriculture laws. The CACB will add animal cruelty to the New York State Penal Code and the Criminal Procedure Law allowing police to take more informed and decisive action when they spot animal cruelty; It will allow the DA to more strongly prosecute these cases; it will allow judges to mete out longer sentences and stiffer penalties and punish repeat offenders more appropriately.
