Here is the official statement by the NYBC:
Here is an FAQ by them on the issue:

I'm posting these links because they took me all of 10 seconds find on Google, and maybe 5 minutes to actually read.
And yet, 7 hours after this post was submitted, currently with 646 upvotes, and 85 comments.....nobody has posted them.
Did nobody think of making a quick look if other information was available?
Now look, I don't have time to actually research this situation, I'm about to go to bed and was just trying to watch a few videos before falling asleep.
I got compelled to write this post though because the response to it annoys me.
A bunch of you watched a Youtube video that offered absolutely no proof to its claim. But because it caused an emotional response, hundreds of people assumed it was fact.
That's such BULLSHIT.
I don't know who is telling the truth. I don't know if it's the humane society. I don't know if it's the NYBC.
I'd like to look more into it tomorrow when I have the time.
I don't understand how people can just be shown an edited video like this, given one sided facts, and think it's ok to make a judgement.
