NY: Make Animal Fight Attendance a Misdemeanor Crime!
Final signature count: 0

New York currently considers attending an animal fight only a "violation" and results in no criminal record. Take action!
A. 6287-B/S. 3926-A would make it a misdemeanor to attend an animal fight in New York State. The NY Senate passed its version of the bill, S. 3926-A, on June 22. Unfortunately, despite passing successfully through the Assembly Agriculture and Codes Committees, the Assembly companion bill, A. 6287-B, has not been scheduled for a floor vote by Assembly leadership.
By attending these barbaric spectacles, spectators make animal fighting a lucrative underground business. In addition, animal fights create environments that promote other hazardous acts, such as the sale of illegal drugs, weapons possession and gambling. Making attendance at animal fights a misdemeanor will give law enforcement an important tool with which to punish the spectators who drive the animal fighting market.
**Sign the petition asking New York state assemblymembers to support A. 6287-B and to urge Assembly leadership to post this important humane bill for a floor vote.**
