BILL NUMBER:S6769 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to prohibiting piercing and tattooing of companion animals PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of this legislation is to amend the animal cruelty statute to include the prohibition of companion animal piercing or tattooing, unless such activity provides a medical or identification benefit. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 353 of the agriculture and markets law is amended by adding a new section 353-f. JUSTIFICATION: The practices of tattooing and piercing are procedures that are accompanied by considerable risk and potential peril. Most humans would not undergo such a process without the assistance of someone professionally trained and without precautions. Due to such risks, laws exist to protect those most vulnerable, such as children who are not yet mature enough to understand the potential danger involved and the latent consequences, from having their flesh tattooed or pierced.
