This is a project very close to my heart and on which I have been advocating for many years. We had a proposal written up in NJ but it never passed so let's hope that it passes in NY and that other states do it, too - until we can make it a federal crime to mutilate animals for no good reason (it's already banned in the EU, Australia and even Brazil but we all know that the States runs on lobbying money so...).
