ANIMAL LEGAL DEFENSE FUND..BREAKING UPDATES ON CRITICAL LEGISLATION.. Please take the time to act and share. We as their supporters cannot let this happen to any of our endangered species, farm animals, horses, dogs or cats. Please sign and share we are their voice and support.. Mahalo

Many critical laws protecting animals, including those regulating factory farms and preventing the sale of dog and horse meat, are in danger. Representative Steve King (R-IA) is trying to pass HR 3599, the so-called "States' Rights Elimination Act," which would undo many of the legislative victories you've achieved for animal protection. Tell your legislators that you oppose HR 3599. HR 3599 takes away your state’s ability to enact animal welfare laws protecting animals and consumers from food produced in unsafe conditions. Rep. King tried to pass similar legislation a few years ago, and animal advocates like you fought back. Congress needs to hear from you again. Please take a few minutes to make a short, respectful phone call to your U.S. Representative and two U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121. When you call this number, the automated system will direct you to your legislators based on zip code. A sample message: "I am (name of legislator)'s constituent. I am calling to ask you to oppose HR 3599, sponsored by Representative King, and instead support legislation that protects animals.” To make sure your message is heard, click here to send a follow-up email message in support of states’ rights to protect animals and consumers. Thank you for helping us protecting our state and local animal welfare laws. For the animals,                                                                     Stephen Wells Executive Director
