Mugsy and Beans ask again to leave Mugsy s cousins alone. There is no demand in CT for more rabbits in butcher shops or more butchering of rabbits.

Tell CT DOAG and the General Assembly to not bring this bloody bill to the floor. Notice how the bills title includes the word "harvesting" for animals...an ill concept and ill expression typically used by animal agriculture and hunters as if animals were grown like plants. It minimizes and obscures what is truly going on, which is the killing of sentient life, not the gathering of crops.

We would like to thank Representative Michael D'Agostino and the committee on General Law for taking the Greyhoind Racing Ban where it needs to be for its best chances to come back to both floors. Every year it seems the votes are there but it doea not get called. Let s pass this bill and be done w Greyhoind Racing in our state, one of the last very few states to still allow it.

Many thanks to all the advocates as well!!

The rodenticides ban was appearing to be a dead bill due to a fiscal note that got several legislators to raise their eyes. But the environmental protection agency, advocates and chair say, this has been addressed to finally support a good version of the bill. Let's pass this needed ban this year. Environment and wildlife cannot wait. The urgency is there.

Language is agreed to be shifted to a different bill while HB5217 died from a fiscal note that could be critisized in several ways. The bill's language will need an amendment to actually remove any chance for the fiscal note to stay with the language.

Many thanks to the leading advocate, https://www.aplacecalledhoperaptors.com/ on this issue and the others also helping with the works and advocacy such as A Place Called Hope Friends of Animals The Humane Society of the United States - Connecticut Connecticut Wildlife Rehabilitators Association Connecticut Chapter Sierra Club CTLCV - Connecticut League of Conservation Voters CT Votes for Animals Wildlife in Crisis, Inc.

Unfortunately the Environment Committee ignored this grave issue and no bills were raised this year to address this calamity.

The process of obtaining the ivory through chopping off elephants' tusks causes "unimaginable suffering" and an "agonizing death," the Humane Society said.

Happy holidays to all, may this new year 2024 bring us resolves not only for the voiceless people but also for the voiceless non-human animals!!

We will update this page more often in 2024 :)

We will be organizing a caucus in the first weeks in January..sort of last minute considering we will be starting session in February.

We still need help with our "logo"

Kind regards to all

We have more work to do for the voiceless, from pets to wildlife, more protections are needed.

It's been sad when in CT Animal Cruelty cases or dismissed or do not trigger adequate punishment. Glad the judge saw through it in this case.

Hopefully we can figure out this year how to go about ensuring municipal shelters that fail inspections every 6 months get the transformations they need, not only for their guests and clients but for the staff that takes care of them.
The existing mechanism for it is for CT DOAG to reach out to the Attorney General, so his office can warn the municipalities that are not compliant.

Raymond Neuberger was accused of torturing cats, one of which he allegedly doused with bleach, according to police.
