The League of Humane Voters NYC posts their 2006 scorecard

New Yorkers take note – LOHV NYC has posted their 2006 City Council Humane Scorecard which ranks the 51 members of the NYC City Council on their initiatives to protect animals. While several councillors did OK with an average score of 38 out of 50, Speaker Christine Quinn got a big fat zero, despite claiming to be “a staunch advocate for animal rights” in a recent newsletter to constituents. Toronto’s pretty cool and all, but I can’t imagine something like this getting any traction here – possibly due to the fact that our federal animal protection laws are from the 1800s. How could something like this apply in your city? Link.
