LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION memorializing Governor David A. Paterson to
declare May 5-11, 2010 as Pet Week in the State of New York

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and
appreciate the service, companionship, loyalty and happiness pets bring
to the lives of their owners; and
WHEREAS, Millions of animals across New York and the United States are
abused, abandoned and neglected, and it is imperative that awareness is
raised; and
WHEREAS, The citizens of New York State are reminded of and encouraged
to practice responsible pet ownership; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body recognized the numerous health benefits
of pet ownership, which include lowered blood pressure, stress
reduction, social support, exercise and increased happiness; and
WHEREAS, Raising awareness of animal abuse as well as recognizing the
benefits of responsible pet ownership will lead to a reduction in animal
cruelty, as well as an increase in the overall health and happiness of
humans and animals alike, and as such it is appropriate to dedicate one
week of the year to our pets; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor David A. Paterson to declare May 5-11, 2010 as Pet
Week in the State of New York; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to The Honorable David A. Paterson, Governor of the State of New
York.
