Animal neglect, cruelty or abuse is depriving an animal of food, water, shelter or veterinary care.
Intentional cruelty or abuse, covered under Buster’s Law in NYS, is knowingly and purposefully depriving an animal of food, water, shelter or veterinary care or maliciously torturing, maiming, mutilating, or killing an animal.
Animal cruelty does not include barking dogs, loud cats or loose animals. If you have a problem with a loud animal, call your local law enforcement agency. If you see a loose or vicious animal, or an injured animal on the side of the road, call your local animal control.
We here at Regional are currently legally unable to investigate animal abuse at this time, but the Police are. If you see suspected abuse, safely document (pictures and in writing) what you see and report it to the authorities. And repeat as much as possible. Justice can only come for the abused if it’s reported.
The number you need to call to report abuse, cruelty, or neglect in Fulton County, New York is 518.736.2100.
You can also make a report online through the Fulton County Animal Cruelty Task Force at https://actf.fcrspca.org
Intentional cruelty to animals is strongly correlated with other crimes, including violence against people.
According to HSUS, in one survey, 71 percent of domestic violence victims reported that their abuser also targeted pets. In one study of families under investigation for suspected child abuse, researchers found that pet abuse had occurred in 88 percent of the families under supervision for physical abuse of their children.

Wildlife rehabilitators are licensed by DEC to care for injured or orphaned wildlife for release back into the wild. Rehabilitators volunteer their time and do not receive funding for expenses associated with their services (veterinary care, food, medicine, etc.).
Important note on handling sick or injured wildlife: If you discover sick or injured wildlife, please contact a rehabilitator immediately for advice on safe handling, both for your sake and for the animal. Some animals require special handling, while others may have diseases that can be transferred to people. Extra precautions should be taken around bats, raccoons or skunks as these species have a higher risk of carrying rabies, which can be transmitted to humans and pets.
You can also contact ENCON in your area to assist with injured wildlife.
