Governor Cuomo stated, "This is animal abuse, pure and simple. I'm proud to sign this common-sense legislation and outlaw these cruel and unacceptable practices one and for all in New York." The bill, which was approved by Legislature back in June, was introduced by Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal in 2011 after she saw stories on the Internet about a woman selling "Gothic kittens" with piercings on their necks, ears and spines. The legislation gained some momentum earlier this year after a Brooklyn tattoo artist known as Mistah Metro posted a photo of his tattooed pooch on Intagram. The photo, which showed the brown and white pup marked with a heart-shaped tattoo with an arrow through it and a ribbon around it reading "Alex" and "Mel", created a firestorm of controversy.
As an animal lover, I'd love to see anyone who has tortured their pet like this, burn in hell. As a tattoo shop reviewer and columnist, I am disgusted that any tattoo artist would stoop so low to tattoo and torture a poor innocent animal, who can't speak for themselves. This makes me sick! The comment under the Instagram photo from that douchebag tattoo artist read" "One of the many reasons my dog is cooler than yours! She had her spleen removed today and the vet let me tattoo her while she was under." What a douche!
Rosenthal, one of the Legislature's most ardent animal-rights advocates, said pets need protection from careless owners. She's written a legislation giving judges the power to issue orders of protection to pets, limiting the testing of cosmetics on animals and giving cities special powers to shut down puppy mills. Her anti-animal-piercing was on of more than 100 pieces of legislation passed by lawmakers earlier this year still awaiting action by the governor. Like I said earlier, I can't believe that a law like this needs to be passed. People are assholes and anyone who tortures an animal like this needs to be put away because that's what this is.....Torture!
