"In 2009, the first of many rescue rights bills,
was introduced in New York. It was estimated that
roughly 25,000 animals a year would be saved if the law passed.
Unfortunately, it did not and has failed to pass every year
since, because of opposition. Instead of being sent to rescue,
300,000 animals have been killed."

Rescue Rights/Shelter Reform life-saving legislation
Letter

Governor Hochul
S6870/A6246
is the ASPCA's Quick Kill Bill fake shelter
reform that would give pounds a new excuse to kill animals: 'mental suffering'. Dogs are traumatized when
their owner leaves them tied up to a park bench and drives away, abandoning them. Dogs are traumatized when their owner has a heart attack and the police come, perhaps dragging this dog on a catch pole to the ACC.
These are just two examples of the situations that these dogs come through before they are brought to the ACC.
Traumatized, scared dogs need socialization, enrichment
& RESCUE. Not to be killed.
S6870/A6246 does not include a single
provision that would require shelters to make
animals available for adoption, to develop
foster networks, or to partner with rescue
organizations. Nor does it even seek to encourage
them to pursue lifesaving outcomes.
To the contrary, S6870/A6246 creates an insidious new incentive for municipal pounds to kill animals 'mental suffering'.
[Sec. 430 (9)] ANY ANIMAL IN THE CUSTODY
OR POSSESSION OF A LICENSED ANIMAL SHELTER THAT IS OBSERVED TO BE EXPERIENCING MENTAL SUFFERING OR BEHAVIORAL DETERIORATION SHALL BE ASSESSED AND APPROPRIATELY TREATED.
The passage above does not define the words
appropriately treated as socialization
, enrichment, exercise or other remedies for
those animals who are supposedly
experiencing 'mental suffering'.
The 'appropriate treatment' according to typical animal
control protocol would include simply
killing the animal. And because
virtually all animals are experiencing
some form of trauma
upon intake, all would be threatened
by this insidious language that has been deliberately left vague.
Mental suffering would just be another excuse to kill an inconvenient animal
If you're a co-sponsor of the Quick Kill bill, please reconsider and withdraw your co-sponsorship until the language in the bill - which is hurtful to animals - is removed and amended.
Donna Lupardo co-sponsored A6246-C. Amy Paulin's Quick Kill bill.
Lupardo did not allow The Shelter Animal rescue Act (SARA) A7155 to come to the floor for a vote.
