For 75 years, AWI has worked to improve the lives of animals. Our founder, Christine Stevens, had a defining role in the passage of the 1966 Laboratory Animal Welfare Act—the first federal law regulating the treatment of animals used in research.

🚨 “As co-chair of the Congressional Animal Protection Caucus and a committed leader on animal protection issues, Brian Fitzpatrick has shown remarkable leadership in the US Congress and with federal agencies alike. As a former FBI agent, he understands the criminal activity underlying everything from dog fighting to violations of the Animal Welfare Act and the costs it presents to a more humane society. We urge voters in Pennsylvania’s 1st Congressional District to reelect Brian Fitzpatrick to Congress.”- Sara Amundson, president of Humane World Action Fund “On behalf of Animal Wellness Action (AWA), a national policy and political organization seeking to advance anti-cruelty legal standards for animals, we strongly endorse your re-election campaign to the 120th Congress Throughout your entire congressional career, you have been peerless in championing federal animal welfare policies. In this policy area, as in others, you call balls and strikes and evaluate issues on their merits, showing uncommon independence in a Congress riven by partisanship.” - Wayne Pacelle, President Animal Wellness Action “Brian Fitzpatrick has been a strong advocate for Pennsylvanians and wildlife in Washington. From his work to protect clean drinking water to his support for hunters and anglers to his unwavering commitment to our public lands, Brian Fitzpatrick has worked across the aisle to ensure our outdoor heritage endures for future generation. We are honored to endorse his approach to bipartisan public policymaking and his re-election.” -said Karla Raettig, executive director of the National Wildlife Federation Action Fund.

If the committee re-reports SB 381, the bill can move to third consideration and potentially final passage in the House.

The Beagle Bill is closer to becoming law than ever before! 🐶🇺🇸 After passing the House Judiciary Committee unanimously, the bill is expected to head to the House floor for a vote this week. I joined Mallory Mentzer on ABC27 News to discuss why we need to protect dogs and cats from unnecessary and painful experimentation - and give these animals a chance at a loving home when their time in research is over. Let’s get the Beagle Bill across the finish line!

Senator Doug Mastriano says he first introduced the Beagle Bill about 4 years ago to ban painful testing and experimentation on dogs and cats. The bill has made it farther than ever this session. I'm live at noon with the latest. @abc27News

Compassion isn’t enough. Animals need strong laws and lawmakers willing to pass them. From ending cruel live pigeon shoots to protecting dogs raised for research, stopping the puppy mill pipeline, ending declawing, and strengthening cruelty laws, there is work to do. Humane PA works to elect humane candidates and turn compassion into stronger animal protection laws.
