About The Scoop New York

The Scoop New York is New York’s source for companion animal news and advocacy, in New York City, Albany, and around the state.

We are the sole news outlet dedicated to covering the movement for a true no-kill New York State, from Buffalo to Brooklyn.

Among other subjects, The Scoop New York is dedicated to:

  • debunking the no-kill myth propagated by prominent organizations that assign no-kill designations to “shelters” that kill adoptable animals

  • covering the progress of animal-centric local and state legislation

  • pushing Albany legislators and local governments to budget for companion animals in their care

  • publicizing conditions and kill rates at animal control facilities statewide

  • pressuring law enforcement to prosecute incidents of animal cruelty; in cases where cruelty laws are weak, TSNY will encourage lawmakers to strengthen them.

Issues relevant to companion animals also matter to those who care for them. For example, companion animals are routinely abused and even killed by perpetrators of domestic violence, which serves to further terrorize abusers’ human victims. TSNY covers that beat and others where the well-being of families and their companion animals intersect.

The Scoop New York is politically unaffiliated and beholden to none. We provide untainted coverage of high profile non-profits with eight- and nine-figure budgets, looking behind branded images of cute cat and dog faces to hold such organizations accountable for acting in the best interest of companion animals. Our concern is reality, not public relations.
