SUCCESSFUL HUMANE DAY AT THE CAPITOL!
Humane Day at the Capitol was a great success this year! Thanks to all of you who participated. We had productive meetings with several key state senators who visited with us in the rotunda. Most importantly, your visits to your legislators
paid off. We heard from several legislators who actually
changed their positions on several animal bills
because of your visits with them. Congratulations to all who came to Humane Day in Jefferson City.
Your efforts truly made a difference!
(L): Official Proclamation of Humane Day on April 4, 2017, issued by Gov. Greitens.

Coordinator Michele Martise, Alliance Executive Director Bob Baker
If you attended Humane Day at the Capitol this year and wish to give us feedback on ways to improve/things you'd like to see next time, please email us at
