Massachusetts: Urge Your Legislators to Co-Sponsor Animal Protection Bills in the 2025–26 Legislative Session

This action is for Massachusetts residents only.

Critical animal protection bills have been filed in Massachusetts for the 2025-26 legislative session, including:

Animal cruelty bills to limit convicted animals abusers’ access to animals (“possession ban”), protect animals from neglect, and establish a “pet custody” process for divorce and separation proceedings
Pets-in-housing bills to prevent certain housing and insurance providers from discriminating based on breed
Sale of animals bills to restrict the retail pet store sale of commercially raised dogs, cats, rabbits, and/or guinea pigs; establish minimum standards for all entities providing companion animals to the public
Wild animal bills to limit the use of rodenticides and end the sale of new factory-farmed fur products
Animals used in testing bills to require the use of non-animal methods for certain products and restrict the sale of animal-tested cosmetics

We need your help to build momentum for these priority animal protection bills by asking your state senator and representative to co-sponsor them today.
