New York City Creates A Registry For Those That Abuse Animals

New York City has taken a stand against pet abuse and I applaud them.  Hopefully this will spark others to follow suit and protect these loving animals.  Mayor Bloomberg had previously vetoed this bill and recently the City Council voted to override that decision.   Before, anyone could just walk in, prove their identity, and buy or adopt a pet, not anymore!  Now, any prospective purchaser or adoptive parent will have to be checked against the abuse registry.  This will also prevent animal hoarding as well, which is a form of abuse.  I couldn't be happier with this ruling and ask you to propose this in your area.  We can all make a difference in the lives of those that make such a difference in ours!
