"Over one million pets call New York home, and they play an important role in our lives, whether they be service animals, guide dogs, or just members of the family. But right now, our traffic law treats them like disposable property. The PAWS Act recognizes the dignity and value of these nonhuman New Yorkers, and ensures our laws send a clear message to reckless drivers: paws your vehicle to let pets pass."
"I walk my pup Radar on our streets every day. He is a member of my family and means the world to me. After learning about the horrific act of traffic violence committed against Ginia Bellafonte and her dog Chicky, the lack of accountability for that reckless driver showed me that something had to be done."
