I believe the NY bill is just to change the penalty from a misdemeanor to a felony on an already existing law they enacted several years ago



That sounds fairly innocuous, except that now people who may be willing to "take their chances" with the animals they love/have had for years and years, hoping not to get caught in the first place, or if they do get caught, to take the misdemeanor charge and pay the fines, will now be convicted felons: exotic pet owners who can't vote--who no longer have a political voice.
