Pennsylvania: Protect Captive Wild Animals from Dangerous Public Contact!
This action is for Pennsylvania residents only.
The Pennsylvania General Assembly is considering a bill, H.B. 1451, that would address a harmful regulatory change adopted by the Pennsylvania Game Commission that is currently permitting captive wild animal exhibitors to sell public contact experiences with wild animals. Contact between the public and captive wild animals is hazardous to the animals themselves, as well as public safety, and poses a zoonotic disease risk.
Send a message to your state senator below urging them to support H.B. 1451!
