?? NEW YORK ACTION ALERT ?? Animal shelters across New York State often find themselves in a challenging situation when they take in animals involved in cruelty cases. There is an urgent need for the creation of the Animal Crimes Fund, a crucial initiative aimed at providing financial support to animal shelters and rescues grappling with the high costs associated with caring for animals involved in cruelty cases. This fund will play a pivotal role in ensuring the well-being of these innocent creatures and aiding shelters in fulfilling their responsibilities during legal proceedings. Please urge your New York State legislators to support the $2.5M Animal Crimes Fund today ?? https://vfar.org/acf/
