We have less involvement with federal law but there are still very important bills that will need your support.
Pending federal bills for animals will cover puppy mills, downed animals, horse transportation to slaughter houses, ape protection, fur labeling and more. Right now, the PUPS bill which is S. 3424 & HR 5434 which is the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety Act. This provides much needed regulation and would require any breeder who sells or offers to sell more than 50 dogs annually directly to the public—including over the Internet—to also be licensed and inspected. Email or call our congressmen now in support of this bill.
These are bills that will need your support in the Congress. Check out www/hsus.org or www.aspca.org for more information on these bills and when you will need to take action. We will also keep this information posted on FOHO. You can sign up for action alerts from HSUS or ASPCA to keep you posted when you need to take action.
The most current congressional contact information is on the HSUS & ASPCA sites. It is easily found by entering your zip code.
