Animal Defenders International has scheduled a week of lobbying in Massachusetts on January 15-19 in support of MA S. 490, which would ban the use of all wild and exotic animals in traveling acts.  The bill had a hearing before the Joint Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture in May 2016, but no further action has been taken since then.  With their "Massachusetts Week of Action," ADI is hoping to generate enough support to get the bill passed through Committee (see their alert at https://www.ad-international.org/take_action/go.php?id=4515).

Please contact the members of the Joint Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture to let them know you OPPOSE this legislation!  Even if you contacted the Committee for the hearing last May, please contact the members again, otherwise the only information they will receive next week will be from animal rights activists.  Plus, some of the Committee members have changed since last year.

Contact information for the members of the Committee are listed below.  Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter!
