TROY, N.Y. â The Rensselaer County Legislature Minority Office filed a local law recently to establish an animal abuse registry in Rensselaer County. Along with Albany County, Rensselaer County will join 20 other New York State (NYS) counties in the fight to end the serious problem of animal cruelty that continues to happen in NYS.
âThis legislation will establish an online registry for individuals who are convicted of animal abuse and neglect,â Democratic Minority Leader Peter Grimm said.
âIt is in the best interest of our residents and their animals that an online registry be established identifying individuals, living in Rensselaer County,â Grimm explained.
