LIVINGSTON COUNTY, N.Y. — People convicted of animal abuse crimes in Livingston County will now be required to register in a public database. The Livingston County Board of Supervisors approved the registry on Wednesday evening.

A crucial part of the conversation can be found around 30 minutes into the video.

The registry will list offenders’ names, photos, convictions, and addresses. Those required to register will also pay a fee and keep their information up to date.

The decision came as the sheriff’s office took over dog control services, creating what officials called a one-stop shop for animal-related issues.
