@SenPisciottano Thank you for your leadership on the Animal Protection Caucus!

[Erik Arneson @ErikOpenRecords]

The Beagle Bill, legislation championed by @SenMastriano & @SenatorComitta to protect dogs and cats from painful, taxpayer-funded experiments, has been approved by the General Assembly and is now almost law.

As co-chair of the animal protection caucus, I'm thrilled that the "Beagle Bill" passed the House and Senate this week and is ready to be signed into law by the Governor.

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives unanimously passed Senate Bill 381, also known as the Beagle Bill, on Monday. The State Senate passed it unanimously last year. The legislation is five years in the making.

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DAY FOR THE BEAGLES!

It was wonderful celebrating this historic milestone today with Kristen Tullo, Anita Archambeau, Heidi Prescott, and of course, sweet Phoebe the Beagle!

These amazing advocates have worked tirelessly to make the Beagle Bill a reality. Their dedication, compassion, and perseverance helped make this long-awaited victory possible!

A special thank-you to Mallory from ABC27 News for taking the time to interview me and help share the exciting news of the Beagle Bill's success!

Five years of hard work, and today we celebrated a victory for the beagles!

Thank you all for never giving up!

I've been following the Beagle Bill's progress. It took about five years for lawmakers to send it to send it to the governor's desk.

.@BrianFitzUSA has been a leading voice for animals. As Co-Chair of the Congressional Animal Protection Caucus and lead sponsor of the Puppy Protection Act, he has fought to raise the standards of care for dogs in commercial breeding facilities and advance commonsense humane reforms.

Reelect Brian Fitzpatrick to Congress for strong leadership that protects animals 🐾🗳️ #GOTV #PAPol

Pawsitively excited about this victory!!!!

🐶 Next stop: @GovernorShapiro ! The PA Senate unanimously concurred on the Beagle Bill (SB 381), following unanimous passage in the House. In a divided political world, every legislator voted yes for these animals. Thank you to the lawmakers and advocates who helped bring this bill to the finish line. Just one signature away from becoming law!

[Senator Doug Mastriano @SenMastriano]

WE FINALLY MADE IT HAPPEN! THE BEAGLE BILL HAS PASSED! 🎉

After five years of hard work, determination, and perseverance, the Pennsylvania Beagle Bill (SB 381) has passed with overwhelming bipartisan support!

🐾 PA House: 203–0
🐾 PA Senate: 50–0
This is a tremendous victory for our beloved beagles, giving dogs used in research a chance at loving forever homes!

WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT SO MANY OF YOU!

A special thank-you to my Democratic colleague and partner, Senator Carolyn Comitta, for working alongside me to champion this legislation. This is bipartisan cooperation at its finest!

I also want to recognize our extraordinary advocates — Kristen Tullo, Abby Avery, Heidi Prescott, and the Adams County SPCA in Gettysburg — for their tireless dedication and compassion. And of course sweet Phoebe the Beagle! She is a very important part of this!

To the countless advocates, rescue organizations, legislative staff, volunteers, and Pennsylvanians who worked behind the scenes and never gave up — THANK YOU! This victory belongs to all of you!

This was never about Republicans or Democrats. It was about doing what is right for these innocent animals.

Five years. One incredible victory.

THE BEAGLES WON! 🐶❤️

In Pennsylvania, #cats and #dogs face cruel experiments with YOUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS!

❌ NO MORE! We put an end to this practice with the passage of SB381, which I proudly co-sponsored.

[JesseDancesWithWolves @JesseWolfDancer]

This bi-partisan bill will defund painful dog and cat testing in Pennsylvania and shine a light on the scope of cruel, wasteful animal experiments across PA.

[Humane PA @HumanePA]

Unanimous! The Beagle Bill, SB 381, passed the PA House! Thank you to sponsors @SenMastriano and @SenatorComitta and everyone who voted yes! Next: Senate concurrence today and then on to @GovernorShapiro for his signature.

[Humane World End Animal Testing @humaneworldeat]

BREAKING: Thanks to YOUR calls and emails, the Beagle Bill has finally passed the Pennsylvania House—unanimously! 🥳

The bill would prohibit the sale of animal-tested cosmetics & give dogs & cats an opportunity to be adopted into loving homes after the experiments are over! 🐾

[Humane PA @HumanePA]

Unanimous!!!!!
