From The Washington Times:

"New York hunters are in an uproar over state assembly Bill 1850 that
would make sport hunting a punishable act of animal cruelty.
The bill, introduced by Assemblyman Alexander Grannis, New York
City Democrat, would revise the state's definition of animal cruelty to
include the "killing or injuring [of] wild game and wild birds." The
revision would make hunting and trapping activities criminal offenses.
The bill is now being considered before the body's Agriculture Committee. "
