Orange County Legislator Mike Anagnostakisis elated after
Wednesday’s committee meeting outcome. In a 7-0 vote
“Rocky’s Law” is one step closer to a becoming reality. It was
unanimously approved to post the names of convicted animal
abusers on the county website and prohibit them from
acquiring other animals.”Rocky’s Law” was named after a 3-
year-old Staffordshire terrier whose owner Edwardo
Macedowas arrested last month for allegedly leaving his dog
outside in freezing temperatures and snow in the City of
Newburgh for five weeks while he went on vacation. Suffering
from life-threatening injuries, Rocky had to be
euthanized. Anagnostakis’ proposal would input anyone
convicted of abusing an animal in Orange County on an
Internet registry. They will also be prohibited from buying or
adopting an animal for 15 years, and will be required to
register on an animal abuser registry within five days of their
conviction or after being released from jail or prison if they
are
incarcerated. Not reporting convictions would be a
misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail and a
maximum fine of $2,000 for each day they fail to register. The
proposed law also has potentially stiff penalties for abusers
who buy or adopt an animal and for any store, shelter or
person who provides it to them. Anagnostakis contends the
penalties he proposed would be the strictest in New York
state.
