Happy World Wildlife Day! As a Co-Chair of the Animal Protection Caucus, I have always prioritized the safety and preservation of our wildlife.
That's why I led the effort to ban the private ownership of big cats 🐯
@Coach_Brower @VintageReader @mrscoachbrower @SoonerBlue Merry merry! I’m so happy I got to finally catch up with you & Uncle* @stewartmbrower! Thanks for hosting a fun day @Coach_Brower & @mrscoachbrower! ❤️❤️❤️
What a phenomenal week this has been! There's lots to read about big cats rn, but definitely check out this great article from @NatGeo (featuring the ever articulate and endlessly knowledgeable @kdylewsky)
The industry that 'Tiger King’ made famous will soon be illegal.
U.S. legislation awaiting the president's signature will ban cub petting, tiger selfies, and breeding big cats as pets.
But what does that mean for the thousands of captive big cats?

After years of work and advocacy, the Big Cat Public Safety Act passed the Senate and is headed to @POTUS’ desk to be signed into law!
Law enforcement and community members will be safer, and big cats will live better lives thanks to this bill and @RepMikeQuigley 🎉🐯
The #BigCatPublicSafetyAct has passed the Senate and will now go to @POTUS to be signed into law!
The bill prohibits private possession of and public contact with #bigcats like #lions, #tigers, and #leopards, effectively putting an end to the #exoticpet trade in big cats!
Tonight my bill the Big Cat Public Safety Act passed the Senate and is headed to @POTUS’s desk to be signed into law!
This is a good one. Law enforcement will be safer, and a lot of big cats will live better lives. Thank you to everyone who has supported this bill!
@JetBlue I have a friend on this flight. The plane has no ac (due to the nature of the servicing process). Passengers have been sweltering for 1.5 hrs and counting and you won’t let them off while it’s fixed because….why?
The Court's decision to overturn Roe endangers women everywhere, by taking away their right to make their own health care choices.
This court isn't conservative – it's partisan, with a socially backward agenda.
They can't be trusted to protect our rights, so the Congress must.
.@NationalZoo Have you considered that instead of killing a fox for being a fox, you shouldn't have stuck exotic birds in the middle of their natural habitat? Slaughtering native wildlife because it outsmarted you is really terrific "conservation" work
The National Zoo says the red fox that allegedly killed two dozen flamingos was euthanized because it was considered "an ongoing threat." https://t.co/DHpLqXx8j7
