New York lawmakers have passed a bill that bans pet owners from giving their animals tattoos or body piercings.
The bill now heads to Gov. Cuomo to sign, and he’s reportedly on board with passing it, according to the New York Daily News.
“Companion animals … will no longer be subject to the selfish whims of their owners,” Democratic Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal told the Daily News.
