Dear  

The 2019/20 Legislative session is well underway!  To keep current on anti-cruelty bills as they are introduced, please don't forget to bookmark and check the Current Legislation page on the Humane PA website, which is updated regularly.  And -  please communicate regularly with your state legislators to let them know what position you want them to take on these bills. 
HUMANE LOBBY DAY - MONDAY, APRIL 29th 
What activity is fun, empowering, and helps animals all at once? Humane Lobby Day! This not- to -be- missed day of advocacy in Harrisburg is our chance to show the legislature the power of the animal vote. We each have the ability to lobby effectively for animals and Humane Lobby Day, where advocates from every corner of the state converge on Harrisburg to discuss pending legislation with their legislators, makes it fun and easy to do so. And, of course, all of us at Humane PA will be there. 
Humane PA will also be hosting its annual Pawlitical Party followed by a sponsored lunch. 
Reminder - you have to register for both separately! 



TAKE A BITE OUT OF PUPPY MILLS!
Victoria's Law has been introduced in the Senate with a record number of bi-partisan co-sponsors!  This bill will prohibit the retail sale of dogs, cats and rabbits unless they are in need of homes and sourced from shelters and rescues - effectively closing an important market to cruel puppy mills. This has already been done in California - and Pennsylvania should be able to do the same to protect its animals, consumers and pet lovers alike! Please contact your state senator to ask him/her to co-sponsor and support this important and groundbreaking bill. Click here for more information: Pennsylvania Puppy Retail Sales Bill.
HERE WE GO AGAIN - WILL OUR STATE EVER ADDRESS CRUEL LIVE PIGEON SHOOTS?
The bill to end live pigeon shoots will shortly be introduced in the Senate. Please ask your state senator to co-sponsor and support Senator Pat Browne's bill to end cruel live pigeon shoot contests. Let's double our efforts to make this the session when cruel live pigeon shoots are finally brought to a definitive end! 
Looking forward to seeing everyone! 

As always, please consider a financial donation to Humane PA PAC to enable us to keep fighting to make Pennsylvania a kinder and better place for its animals. Humane PA gratefully accepts donations to support its important work: https://humane-pa.org/contribute/
