Lights Out Coalition, an alliance of New Yorkers dedicated to protecting Gotham City’s wildlife, elected officials, and animal rights activists, gathered outside City Hall in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday, celebrating Intro 1073.
Intro 1073 is the third and final piece of a package of laws titled Flaco’s Laws, named after the Eurasian eagle-owl who escaped from the Central Park Zoo in 2023 and quickly captured the hearts of New Yorkers by storm before he died on Feb. 23, 2024, when he flew into a window of an Upper West Side building.
