Animal Welfare Lobby Day

 


🦒🐘🎪 Standing Up for Animals on Beacon Hill 🎪🦒🐘

On Wednesday, June 24, I was honored to join advocates, fellow legislators, and passionate citizens for Animal Welfare Lobby Day at the State House — a powerful day of action and recognition for those working to protect animals across our Commonwealth.

I was honored to be recognized for legislation I sponsored last session — now signed into law as Chapter 168 of the Acts of 2024 — which prohibits the use of certain wild animals in traveling exhibits and shows. 

I was honored to share remarks during the awards ceremony — reaffirming my commitment to continuing the fight for animal welfare here in Massachusetts and standing with those who advocate for the humane treatment of all creatures.
