Pets in New York City are like no other pets in the world. Just like their people, city pets of all types have to grapple with cramped apartments (if they’re lucky enough to find a pet-friendly building) local politics, busy streets and dog-run drama. No hopping into the backseat or backyard for them! And those are just the pets that already have homes-pets waiting for adoption have to contend with life in overwhelmed city shelters or life on the streets. "Pets in the City" with New York Tails publisher and editor-in-chief Diane West will offer up a steady diet of the exciting lives, loves and laments of the people and pets in the world’s greatest city. Get ready for robust debates on city pet issues, interviews with unsung heroes, surprise urban wildlife reports, opinionated product reviews, and visits with celebrities (and celebrity pets!) "Pets in the City", like the city itself, has something for everyone. You’ll also get regular reports about the city’s hottest events, including fundraisers, festivals, and play dates.

PetLifeRadio.com - Episode 24 Crusaders Against Cruelty: New York City's Animals Have The Law On Their Side

The case of a kitten being put in a 500-degree oven and left to die in a Bronx, New York apartment last month left people throughout New York and the country outraged and asking one question: why would a pair of teenage girls do such a horrible thing under the guise of a 'prank'? For that matter, why do some people do cruel things to animals at all? This week, Pets In the City asks Officer Joe Pentangelo, assistant director of humane law enforcement at the ASPCA and frequent face on the popular Animal Planet show, Animal Precinct, this question and more. Officer Pentangelo, one of the first on the scene of the horrible crime involving Tiger LIlly the kitten and her teenage tormentors, gives us his personal insights and updates on the case, tips on how to spot signs of an animal in an abusive situation, and how to report it suspected cruelty to animals. He'll also tell us about the changing legal protections afforded to animals who are victims of cruelty and the penalties against those who do it.
