Mary Bono Mack for U.S. Congress
Dianne Feinstein for U.S. Senate
Dear Friend,
Election day is less
than two weeks away, and advocates of animal protection need to know who is standing
up for their interests. The Humane Society Legislative Fund is the non-partisan
political arm of the humane movement, and we want you to know that Mary Bono
Mack and Dianne Feinstein are friends of animal protection.
We're encouraging animal advocates to support Mary Bono Mack for
U.S. Congress and Dianne Feinstein for U.S. Senate on November 6.
Among her efforts in
the U.S. Congress, Mary Bono Mack has:
- Sponsored the Truth in Fur Labeling Act to require
accurate labeling of all garments trimmed with animal fur so consumers are not
deceived into believing the apparel is faux fur (H.R. 2480/P.L.
111-313)
- Co-sponsored the
Great Ape Protection and Cost Savings Act, H.R. 1513, to phase out
the use of chimpanzees in invasive research, retire federally-owned chimpanzees
to sanctuary, and save millions of taxpayer dollars
- Co-sponsored the Animal Fighting Spectator
Prohibition Act, H.R. 2492, to close a loophole in the federal
animal fighting law by making it a crime to attend or take a child to a
dogfight or cockfight
- Co-sponsored the Puppy Uniform Protection and
Safety (PUPS) Act, H.R. 835, to protect dogs and crack down on
large-scale puppy mill abuses
- Voted for an amendment to cap agriculture
subsidies that would limit huge taxpayer giveaways to commodity growers (H.AMDT.124/H.R.1)
- Voted to protect threatened polar bears in the
Arctic and prevent the import of sport-hunted polar bear trophies from Canada (H.AMDT.1008/H.R. 4089)
Among her efforts in the U.S. Senate, Dianne Feinstein has:
- Sponsored the Egg
Products Inspection Act Amendments of 2012, S. 3239, to extend some Prop 2 standards (to ban barren battery
cages in the egg industry) to the entire nation, improving the treatment of
hundreds of millions of egg-laying hens
- Sponsored the Downed
Animal Enforcement Act of 2008, S. 2770, to strengthen the federal penalties for the slaughter of
non-ambulatory livestock too sick or injured to stand or walk on their own
- Sponsored the Protect
America's Wildlife (PAW) Act of 2009, S. 1535, to close a loophole in federal law that allows the
shooting of wolves and other wildlife using airplanes and helicopters
- Sponsored the
Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act of 2011, S. 1211, to phase out the routine non-therapeutic use of
antibiotics in farm animals—a common practice to promote growth and
compensate for overcrowded, stressful, unsanitary conditions on factory farms—in order to maintain the effectiveness of antibiotics for treating sick people
and animals
- Co-sponsored the Puppy
Uniform Protection and Safety (PUPS) Act, S. 707, to crack down on abusive “puppy mills” in the U.S., where
breeding dogs are often stacked in wire cages for years to produce litter after
litter, without exercise, veterinary care, socialization or human companionship
- Co-sponsored the
American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act, S. 1176, which bans the slaughter of horses, including the export
of live horses for slaughter in other countries, for human consumption
Mary Bono Mack and Dianne Feinstein are friends of animals
and we encourage you to vote for them on November 6. Please forward this email
