2021 New York Laws GBS - General Business Article 35-C - Operation of Pet Cemeteries and Pet Crematoriums 750 - Declaration of Policy.

§  750.  Declaration  of  policy.  The  legislature  hereby  finds and   declares that the relationships that humans develop with  other  members   of the animal kingdom that are taken into our homes and kept as pets are   unique  and  special.  These  relationships  can  enrich  our  lives and   increase our happiness. Even after the death of a pet, human  attachment   to  the memory of the pet often remains very strong and many people feel   the need to memorialize their love for their animal by burying their pet   in a pet cemetery. Pet cemeteries, their  managers  and  owners  have  a   special responsibility to their customers who have entrusted their pets'   remains  with  them.    These  pet  cemeteries  have a duty to act in an   ethical  and  lawful  manner  to  prevent  grieving  pet   owners   from   experiencing  further  any  emotional  pain  or  financial manipulation.   Perpetrations of fraud against grieving pet owners are unconscionable.The legislature further finds and declares that  the  people  of  this   state  have  a  vital  interest  in  the  establishment, maintenance and   preservation of pet cemeteries  and  pet  crematoriums  and  the  proper   operation  of  the  businesses  and individuals which own and manage the   same. This article is determined an exercise of  the  police  powers  of   this  state  to  protect  the well-being of our citizens, to promote the   public welfare, to promote the health of the public and to  prevent  pet   cemeteries   and  pet  crematoriums  from  falling  into  disrepair  and   dilapidation and becoming a burden upon the community.
