Public Notice
Going forward, Southern Tier Animal Control will no longer investigate animal cruelty, our organization has no authority to charge any individuals with any cruelty or humane charges… Our organization strictly enforces article 7 of the Agriculture & markets law, which is the control of dogs.. This was something we did as a courtesy because of my experience investigating animal cruelty… anyone can investigate animal cruelty, but only a police officer, constable or agent of an SPCA can charge an individual.
