Show your support for animal protection laws This Friday, March 15th at the CT Legislative Office Building!
Just imagine a hearing for our bills with standing-room only!! You don't want to miss this!!!
If you'd like to provide written testimony, that would also be extremely helpful.
As many of you know, Our Companions works closely wtith CT Votes for Animals, the state’s only CT based political organization that works on legislation to protect our states animals.
This Friday there is hearing on 3 important bills.
- HB 5844, would prohibit chaining a dog outside at night between 10pm and 6am, and require that chained dogs have appropriate shelter during harsh weather conditions.
- HB 5836, would utilize existing funds in the state's Animal Population Control Program (APCP), to expand spay/neuter and vaccination benefits to pets belonging to low-income families.
- There is also a bill we are supporting, HB 5027 that is a ban on the sale of puppy mill dogs from pet shops!
This Friday, we need to show the Environment Committee that animals are well-represented in this state and that we would like to see major improvements for them, especially humane legislation!!!
The hearing for our bills is this Friday at 10:30 in Room 2B of the Legislative Office Building. If you can come for just one to two hours between 10:30 and 1:30, to just sit in the audience, it would make an OUTSTANDING impression on the Committee.
If you'd like to provide written testimony, that would also be extremely helpful.
There is so much going on and its getting really exciting! Thank you for being such a vital part of this historic change for animals !!
