Come join me on June 7th in Albany for the 6th annual Animal Advocacy Day sponsored by NYS Senator Phil Boyle and NYS Assemblyman Jim Tedisco. Animal Advocacy Day is an event that was created to help strengthen the animal cruelty laws in NY. It’s a non-partisan event designed to further protect our pets and wildlife from abuse and cruelty. There will be many people there to help educate and speak out on behalf of animals, discussing ways we can help protect them, and lending support to strengthening laws like “Buster’s Law” which made animal cruelty a felony in NY. Victoria’s Fun Facts and Tips ~ Senator Boyle is an animal lover and has a cute dog named Livvy. His first pet was a dog named Jonesy. ~ Senator Boyle's favorite animal is an otter. ~ Remember to never leave your pet in the car because they will overheat like a young child. And, it’s against the law. ~ Dogs and cats should always wear an identification tag to find them in case they get lost. ~ Keep electrical cords away from puppies and kittens. ~ Do not hug an animal you don’t know without the owner’s permission. When and Where The 6th Annual NYS Animal Advocacy Day will be held on Tuesday, June 7th from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Well of the Legislative Office Building in Albany.
