I've seen a lot about the NY quick kill bill, Christiane--it is horrible, so many pets may be euthanized on intake before anyone has a chance to look for them. The rest of the country (well, some of it) is moving toward recognizing TNR and "feral freedom", but this bill will put NY in reverse. It is very sad.
