Christine Quinn “worked to defeat Reso. 497, which requires instruction in the humane care and treatment of animals in elementary schools… The Resolution was killed in the Education Committee because of arm-twisting by Council Speaker Quinn’s office. NYLHV believes that Speaker Quinn opposed Reso. 497 because of political friction with the bill’s sponsor, Council Member Avella, who
forced the bill to receive a hearing against her wishes.”
