SARA Will Live to See Another Day. Countless Homeless Cats and Dogs Won’t.

The only people who oppose SARA are the ones killing adoptable animals – and politicians like David Weprin, Joseph Addabbo, Donna Lupardo and Michelle Hinchey.

The Scoop New York is a newsletter dedicated to companion animals and the New Yorkers who care for them, from Buffalo to Brooklyn. NYC ACC KILLS, published by TSNY, enumerates and memorializes adoptable cats and dogs who were nonetheless exterminated by Animal Care Centers of New York City.

Heroes are for movies.

No state legislators stepped up for the Shelter Animal Rescue Act at the last minute. Not its primary sponsors from 2022. Nor any of its co-sponsors. SARA is not happening this year, and that means another year of hell for homeless cats and dogs across New York.

For the uninitiated, SARA would require animal control facilities statewide to surrender cats and dogs to qualified rescues, rather than kill them. That’s it. That’s the bill.
