New York State Police arrest Thoroughbred Breeder for Animal Neglect

Clermont, New York – On March 17, 2020, the New York State Police arrested Andrea Nussinow, age 57, of Clermont, for thirty-five counts of Agriculture and Markets Law section 353 the Overdriving, torturing and injuring animals, or failure to provide proper sustenance, an unclassified misdemeanor.

On December 2, 2019, the State Police in Livingston received a complaint of possible animal neglect on Nevis Road in the town of Clermont.  Investigation led to the endorsement of three search warrants for the property which were all executed in the month of January 2020.  Twenty horses, six sheep, two goats, two cows, one donkey, and seven cats were "seized" from the property as a result.  All animals were taken in by Godspeed Horse Rescue.  

If Paul Czajka, DA and James Carlucci, ADA agree that the heinous crimes committed against these defenseless animals are serious crimes, linked to other criminal activity, when do they plan on enforcing the Federal and State laws and "finally" prosecute this Animal Cruelty case? 

Thank you to all 45,414 Supporters of "STOP the Animal Neglect in Columbia County N.Y." that will not stop petitioning Paul Czajka, District Attorney until justice is served.
