New York: Help Protect Animals from Inhumane Traveling Acts
This action is for New York state residents only.
The New York State Legislature passed A.5850, which would ban the use of certain wild animals in traveling animal acts in the state, including big cats, bears, nonhuman primates, kangaroos, and wallabies. More than 40 countries, 12 U.S. states, and 200 localities nationwide have passed laws banning or restricting the use of wild animals in traveling shows.
It now awaits Governor Kathy Hochul’s signature.
Contact Governor Hochul today and urge her to sign the ban on wild animal performances!
