GREAT NEWS – ILLINOIS STATE CIRCUS BILL PASSES SENATE! HB 4255 passed the Senate (51-4) today and now awaits the governor’s signature.

Though Illinois had already banned the use of elephants in traveling acts several years ago, many other species remained unprotected. This new bill would ensure cougars, jaguars, leopards, lions, tigers, nonhuman primates, and bears also do not have to endure the life of deprivation and brutality that animals experience in the circus.

If you live in IL, please contact Governor JB Pritzker and urge him to sign HB 4255 into law. Link in the comments!

If you don’t live in IL, urge your members of Congress to support the reintroduction of the Traveling Exotic Animal & PUBLIC SAFETY Protection Act (TEAPSPA). Link in the comments!

Florida has become a leader in protecting animals and holding accountable those who harm them. Today, we built on that record with new legislation to strengthen penalties for animal abuse and improve consumer protections for pet owners.  

HB 559 gives law enforcement and local communities additional tools to crack down on animal abuse, including new felony penalties for horrific acts of animal cruelty. SB 1004 enhances legal protections for Floridians who buy and own pets and provides real accountability for businesses that violate the law.

Florida is a law-and-order state. We will not tolerate those who abuse and exploit innocent animals, and we will defend the rights of responsible pet owners.
