Need Co-Sponsors for House Bills!

Hey folks! Been awhile since I have posted. I just want to remind you that we have two very exciting and important bills in the House right now that could make a big difference in the lives of big cats in the U.S. H.R. 3359 seeks to ban the use of exotic animals in traveling acts. As I've stated before, this bill is important for the safety of exotic animals. The cruel methods used to train these animals and the squalid conditions in which they live, must be stopped. Despite regulations these animals have continued to suffer. The only way to help them have a better life is to ban them from traveling acts altogether. (see my post below for details on this bill) H.R. 4122 seeks to ban private ownership of big cats in the U.S. This would not only benefit the cats but would benefit the public. Persons who are ill equipped to care for the cats are the cause of many deaths of humans and animals alike. Any person currently owning a big cat (s)will be required to register the animal(s) with the USDA and keep their facilities up to code. Failure to do so will result in removal of the animal(s) and a fine. Furthermore the bill would prohibit any person from purchasing a big cat in the future. Accredited animal rescues and AZA accredited breeding programs/zoos would be the exception to this law.I encourage you all to contact your local U.S. representative to ask that they co-sponsor or support this bill. You can find a link at the bottom of this page that will help you find your representative. Or you can go to catlaws.com to send a pre-written form to your representative. Together we can set them free! Without us they will suffer indefinitely!
