Great news! We are encouraged to see support for the legislation from both chambers of Congress and hope the President moves quickly to sign this bipartisan bill into law.

VICTORY! Today, the Big Cat Public Safety Act passed the U.S. Senate! BCPSA prohibits the private possession of big cats and makes it illegal for exhibitors to allow direct contact with cubs. We hope the President moves swiftly to sign this important bipartisan bill into law. 🐯

Had a productive meeting with NY Assembly member, @LindaBRosenthal, discussing her many animal welfare bills as well as @ALDF's priorities. Can't wait for the new 2023 legislative session!

From all of us @ALDF, thank you for defending animals! In each fight to protect animals and win justice on their behalf, you are there beside us. You are the reason more animals get the second chances they deserve. Wishing you a peaceful and compassionate holiday!🦃

We are very sad to report that Ryder, the emaciated horse who collapsed in NYC while pulling a carriage, has died 💔 Help us make Ryder's tragic death the last one. Sign our petition to the New York City Council calling for a ban on this abusive industry: aldf.org/NYC.

This month we're raising awareness about the treatment of farmed animals and the lack of meaningful laws that protect them. A great way to show your support is by changing your social media profile picture to one of four farmed animal avatars! Simply screenshot + update! #SOFAM
