Suffolk County Code Chapter 762 prohibits animal cruelty including hoarding, and New York Agriculture and Markets Law Section 353 makes overdriving, torturing, or failing to provide proper sustenance a misdemeanor.
Animal hoarding is treated as cruelty under Suffolk County Chapter 762 and New York Agriculture and Markets Law Sections 353 through 353-d. Hoarding typically involves keeping more animals than the owner can adequately care for, resulting in unsanitary conditions, malnutrition, or untreated illness. Suffolk County SPCA peace officers, local police, and the SCDHS may investigate complaints. Convicted offenders may be barred from owning animals for a period set by the court. Aggravated cruelty under Section 353-a is a felony. Suffolk County also maintains an animal abuser registry under local law.
Cruelty misdemeanor: NY AGM Section 353; up to one year jail and one thousand dollars fine. Aggravated cruelty: felony up to two years prison.
