In 2022, the NYS Education Law was updated to provide legal indemnity for veterinarians who report animal cruelty, and to require reporting when abuse is observed.
Section 6714 of Article 135 of the Education Law is summarized here:
You are legally required to report animal abuse when in good faith you suspect it has led to an animal’s injury, illness or condition.
Under the law you can report to a police officer or an agent or officer of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or any duly incorporated society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.
The best place to report depends on which county you are in, and sometimes your local police station may redirect you somewhere else. To save you from searching around, the National Link Coalition publish an online list of where to report abuse in each NY county.
