**please cross post**

The Tuesday, June 2, NY Senate Committee on Agriculture will meet to
consider several proposals that could have a devastating impact on New York
dog and cat owners.

On Monday, because time is short, please take a few minutes to call the
Agriculture Committee Chair, Senator Darrel Aubertine, and express your
opposition to these bills. If at all possible, call the other committee
members, too.

S4961A Oppenheimer (same as A 7983A Paulin)

Redefines "pet dealer" by REMOVING the exemption for residential/hobby
breeders and ADDING "any person who SELLS, OFFERS FOR SALE OR NEGOTIATES
THE SALE OR PURCHASE OF ANIMALS BORN OR RAISED ON ANOTHER PREMISES; (B)
KEEPS ON HIS OR HER PREMISES MORE THAN FOUR INTACT FEMALE DOGS SIX MONTHS
OF AGE OR OLDER FOR THE PURPOSE OF BREEDING SUCH DOGS"

These changes would make almost every NYS hobby dog or cat breeder subject
to regulation as a pet dealer.

The proposal also adds numerous requirements for care of animals by "pet
dealers" including veterinary protocols, exercise, and more. Also requires
pet dealers to authorize release of their records with breed registries and
veterinarians to New York State or its agents, and to open their homes to
inspection at any time "during normal business hours" or face penalties
and/or revocation of their license.

S5392A Squadron (same as A7285 Paulin)
Prohibits ownership or custody of more than 50 intact dogs or cats

Allows for seizure of dogs or cats if any person or business "has in its
care" more than 50 intact dogs or cats over the age of 4 months. Note that
such animals may be sold off or killed by the impounding agency if security
bond requirements are not met within five days.

Note: this bill is endorsed by HSUS

The Dog Federation of New York makes available an analysis of the many
defects in S5392 and A7285.
