This is your reminder that as warmer weather arrives to be aware of native animals as they become more active. We’re visitors in their home. Act accordingly. 🦌 💜

Please cosponsor the SAFE Act (H.R. 3355) @reprichardneal. Horse slaughter is barbaric and inhumane. #BanHorseSlaughter #NotOneHorseMore

Springfield just became the 9th city in Massachusetts to end sales of puppies, kittens, and rabbits at pet stores. Now we need a statewide ban! #endpuppymills #votersforanimals https://t.co/tmHPYAn7hb

ACTION ALERT! #Elephants, bears, big cats, camels, zebras & monkeys in American circuses need YOU to contact your members of Congress TODAY, asking them to co-sponsor #TEAPSPA when it is reintroduced this year. https://t.co/XDdPzmL7X1 #StopCircusSuffering

It is a momentous day for America and for animal rights activists everywhere as we welcome Major Biden as the very first rescue dog to live in the White House.

Onwards and upwards, with love.

2021 starts w/ 2 big wins for animals: the end of greyhound racing in FL (thanks to @GREY2KUSA ) and the end of horse drawn carriages in Chicago (thanks to @ChiAnimalRights )

[GREY2K USA Worldwide @GREY2KUSA]

More than a century of cruelty at Florida dog tracks ends at midnight. Count down with us to greyhound freedom! #HappyNewYear

[MSPCA Advocacy @MSPCAAdvocacy]

Congrats to @RepKClark on becoming the most powerful congresswoman in state history w. her new position, Assistant Speaker of the US House of Representatives. Rep. Clark has been an amazing advocate for animal protection and has always been there for the animals and their owners.

There is going to be a rescue dog in the White House! Let's hope this encourages more people to adopt from shelters. #AdoptDontShop 🐶🐕‍🦺🐩🐕🦮

Time and time again, gorillas and other animals tell us they want the freedom to determine their own destinies—not to be held in captivity or exploited. https://t.co/VtHThJhuIv

Thanks to emergency legislation passed to make mail-in voting easier, Mass had a relatively smooth election even in the era of #COVID19. Thank you @RepPaulMark

For nearly 50 years, Mara spent her life in circuses and zoos. She is finally safe and free. https://t.co/056XKDdPWp

The beliefs about “dangerous dog breeds" are not grounded in science. In fact, many dogs, regardless of breed or appearance, #rescued from dogfighting — who were once abused and trained to be aggressive — can be healed and rehabilitated. 🐶

Another result of the coronavirus that benefits animals: England’s oldest dog-racing track will close permanently. https://t.co/fcTqMxRSYT

Just another day #inthebebrkshires.

Meet rescued animals at 10 farmed animal sanctuaries from the comfort (and safety) of your home through this live virtual tour. This is a fun and uplifting activity for quarantined kids in particular. https://t.co/Qa0SQp5OlY

Please help the U.S. join more than 30 other countries in banning cosmetics testing on animals by cosponsoring the Humane Cosmetics Act @RepRichardNeal #BeCrueltyFree!

[ALDF @ALDF]

Good news! The New Jersey Senate voted unanimously in favor of the possession ban bill. These laws are critical tools in the fight against cruelty.
Thank you to bill sponsor Senator Troy Singleton (@Troy4NJ7) for his tireless leadership on this issue! https://t.co/e74fSU6xi2
