Think only professional lobbyists can lobby? Think again! You’re invited to participate in the New York State Humane Lobby Day in Albany, where you’ll make a tremendous difference for animals.
This is an exciting opportunity to meet directly with your elected officials or their staff about legislation that will significantly impact animals. There will be a briefing on tips for lobbying and an overview of pending animal legislation which will prepare you to meet your elected officials and advocate for animals. RSVP today to lend your voice for animals and make a difference in New York.
Join us to help pass legislation to crack down on animal fighters, stop puppy mills, end canned shoots of captive exotic wildlife, and protect farm animals from cruel treatment!
The 2010 New York State Humane Lobby Day is organized by The Humane Society of the United States and co-sponsored by New York League of Humane Voters, Farm Sanctuary, Humane Society of New York, and New York State Humane Association.
You must RSVP here in order to attend. We hope to see you there!
Since the 1970’s, New York City residents and animal protection organizations have advocated to protect horses used in the carriage industry and ensure public safety; however, the dangers created by animal-pulled vehicles in the streets of a major city threaten the safety of both people and animals. Horses, which weigh more than 1,000 pounds, continue to get spooked and collide with cars and pedestrians. They collapse on the streets. They die prematurely in stables. They suffer from punishing pavement, extreme weather conditions, and a lack of water.
