“Nosey’s Law” would ban the use of exotic animals in traveling acts. Other measures would strengthen regulation of veterinarians and pet groomers. Three animal protection bills are on the Assembly docket today, one of which is the well-known “Nosey’s Law” aimed at barring the use of elephants as circus acts in the state. The other two are in response to dog deaths at pet groomers and kennels.“Nosey’s Law” (A-1923) would prohibit the use of elephants and other exotic animals in traveling animal acts, such as fairs, carnivals, circuses and flea markets and give New Jersey the broadest ban on animal acts in the nation. It is named for an elephant who animal rights organizations say has been mistreated for years, being forced to give rides and perform tricks despite having arthritis.The Pet Groomers Licensing Act (A-3044) would require those who groom animals — including the state’s more than 500,000 dogs — to be licensed and businesses that perform grooming be registered. Assemblywoman Valerie Vainieri Huttle (D-Bergen) first proposed the legislation four years ago in response to the death of Bijou, a healthy 6-year old Shih Tzu who died unexpectedly under the care of a pet groomer. The bill is also being called Bijou’s Law, in honor of the dog.
