Passing Local Legislation: Prohibiting Animals in Circuses and Traveling Shows
Presented 6/14/23
Want to take the next step in your animal advocacy? Join us for a free webinar to learn the ways wild animals suffer in circuses, and the skills needed to pass a local law to protect them! Local ordinances are critical to protecting animals in your community and help establish the foundation for passing similar laws at the state level.
This webinar will focus on passing a local prohibition on animals used in circuses and other traveling shows. Expect to learn all about the humane and safety concerns when wild animals are forced to perform. Animal Legal Defense Fund Campaigns Manager Matt Rossell and Campaigner, Abbey Benesh walk attendees step by step through the process to pass a local law prohibiting the use of wild animals in circuses in their own city or county. These strategies can be applied to any local legislative campaign!
This webinar was recorded on Wednesday, June 14. Watch it now!
