Anti-animal fighting bill signed into law in New York

Finally, a state is getting serious about animal fighting. Governor Cuomo of New York, signed the bill which increases the penalties to be a class B misdemeanor punishable by up to 3 months in jail and a $500 fine. If you are a repeat offender this rises to 1 year in jail and a $1000.00 fine.
It is still small when compared to the pain and suffering these animals go through, but the old $500 fine and a simple violation was an insult.
