Senate Resolution No. 1961

BY: Senator MARTINEZ

MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 28, 2026, as Animal Advocacy Day in the State of New York

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that all living creatures have value and to recognize and appreciate the service, companionship, loyalty, unconditional love and happiness animals bring to the lives of New Yorkers; and

WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 28, 2026, as Animal Advocacy Day in the State of New York; and

WHEREAS, Animals are a beloved and cherished member of many of our families and play a positive role in the lives of so many of New York's citizens; and

WHEREAS, Pets offer companionship in more than 71 million United States households, and studies have shown companion animals can provide a variety of health benefits; and

WHEREAS, Companion animals provide comfort and assistance to seniors and people with disabilities; and

WHEREAS, Companion animals play an important role helping police, fire departments, and search and rescue efforts to keep our citizens safe; and

WHEREAS, Animal abuse, cruelty and neglect result in unnecessary pain and suffering to animals; and

WHEREAS, Violence against animals is a bridge crime that can and has led to violence against people; and

WHEREAS, It is vital that we encourage empathy and compassion for our companion animals, and that we provide a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves; and

WHEREAS, On April 28, 2026, New York pet owners and citizens come together to support, protect, and acknowledge all animals' positive contribution to society and the family of New York; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 28, 2026, as Animal Advocacy Day in the State of New York; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New York.
