Just confirmed: Former New York State Assemblyman and current Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer will be among the guests at our fifth anniversary celebration on November 15th. At the event, Scott will be presenting an award to his successor and our newest friend in the Assembly, Linda Rosenthal.Many of you will remember Scott as the sponsor of numerous animal protection bills. When he was in the Assembly, Scott sponsored legislation to ban so-called "canned shoots" -- where fenced in animals who are unable to escape are "hunted" -- as well as the bill to ban the anal and genital electrocution of fur-bearing animals. Following this, Linda Rosenthal has already passed and had signed into law legislation to protect companion animals.
Other confirmed guests as of today include: singer/songwriter Nellie McKay; legendary artist Peter Max; the Vice President of the State Senate, Frank Padavan; Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal; Councilwoman Rosie Mendez; musician Matt Katz and comedian Marisa Miller!
