Suffolk County is the first to activate an animal abuser registry in the United States! The address, photograph, and names of convicted animal abusers will be available on the registry. Animal shelters, breeders, and pet stores will not adopt or sell animals to anyone on the registry. The Animal Legal Defense Fund is attempting to make the registry of Suffolk County a nationwide law that will not only affect animals, but people. Many states and counties are evaluating similar registries and/or establishing them. Hoorah for the animals!
