"The Caucus will be a vehicle for Council Members to create a shared agenda for the humane treatment of animals. Through smart, modern policies, we will reduce harm, protect ecosystems, and foster a healthier, more sustainable city for all. I am looking forward to working with my colleagues to deliver results for all of our family members and friends, whether on two legs or four."
"Animals are an essential part of the fabric of New York City, and the people who care for them deserve meaningful support. The creation of the Animal Welfare Caucus ensures that responsible ownership and pet care affordability have a clear and consistent voice within the Council. At a time when veterinary costs and pet care expenses are rising, we must advance policies that protect animals while also supporting the families who love them."
The New York City Council has formed the Animal Welfare Caucus, led by Council Member Harvey Epstein and City Council Speaker Julie Menin. The caucus aims to advocate for the humane treatment of animals throughout the city while advancing legislation to reduce pet ownership costs for New Yorkers. The initiative provides a formal platform within the City Council to create shared agendas for animal welfare. Through modern policies, the caucus intends to reduce harm, protect ecosystems, and foster a healthier city. The formation addresses rising veterinary and pet care expenses, ensuring responsible pet ownership and care affordability receive consistent support and advocacy within the Council.
