@RepMarkosek @SenatorRBrown @senbartolotta As we continue to fight for accountability and transparency in the pet cremation industry, visit the dedicated page on my website to get the latest information and add your name to support this legislation: pasenatornick.com/dignityindeath/

@RepMarkosek @SenatorRBrown @senbartolotta Last month, the House Judiciary Committee unanimously passed this legislation. This is a major step as we work to protect pet owners from ever experiencing the type of tragedy we've seen in our region, and I look forward to continuing to move this bipartisan legislation forward.

I was shocked by allegations that over 6,500 pet owners were deceived when they entrusted their beloved pet to be cremated. I worked with @RepMarkosek, @SenatorRBrown, and @senbartolotta to intro legislation to create accountability and transparency in PA’s pet cremation industry

Cruelty, violence and hatred have no place in our society—against anyone or anything. That principle guides everything I do, including my work as Co-Chair of the Congressional Animal Protection Caucus, where I’ve focused on partnering with PA-1 community advocates to strengthen federal animal welfare laws and close long-standing gaps in protections—including the PAST Act to end the abusive practice of horse soring and the Puppy Protection Act, which raises standards for commercial dog breeders. Protecting animals from abuse is a matter of basic responsibility and common sense. I’m honored to once again be recognized as the Humane World Champion from my longtime partners at the @humaneactfund, and grateful to Sara Amundson, Kitty Block, and their entire team for their leadership and commitment to a cause that is so near and dear to my heart. 🔗: #scorecard_house" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">humaneaction.org/2025-scorecard…

Congrats @RepBrianFitz, on your well-deserved award — and thank you for being an amazing advocate for animals 🐾🙌

🐾 The Puppy Protection Act (H.R. 2253) would modernize outdated federal standards for commercial dog breeders by requiring: ✔️ Adequate space & exercise ✔️ Basic veterinary care ✔️ Humane breeding limits These are commonsense protections to help end the worst puppy-mill abuses.
