Tell Your Reps to Support the Big Cat Public Safety Act
The Big Cat Public Safety Act would protect big cats from exploitation and improper care by prohibiting private individuals from owning them as pets. It would also prohibit public interactions with cubs such as photo ops and petting. The bill is currently up for vote in the U.S. House of Representatives. Big cats should be respected as wild animals, not bred and captured for the pleasure of individuals! Please contact your representatives and tell them to support the Big Cat Public Safety Act.

Tell Shelter Directors: Euthanasia by Gas Chamber is CRUEL
|
2021 Animal Cruelty Enforcement Act (ACE)
|
|
|
|
It may be hard to believe, but the inhumane practice of euthanasia through gas chambers is still practiced in some animal shelters in the U.S.
Through the loud, persistent protestations of animal welfare groups, use of gas chambers in shelters has almost been totally eradicated. There are a few that still shelters that still use them, though, and that is a few too many. Alley Cat Rescue has been able to confirm the locations of three of these shelters, and we are asking you to join us in condemning gassing animals and pressuring these shelters to change. |
The Animal Cruelty Enforcement Act proposes the establishment of "an Animal Cruelty Crimes Section within the Department of Justice's Environment and Natural Resources Division, and for other purposes.*" Read more about this act and contact your representative to show your support of it by clicking the button below!

Protect NSW Cats & Wildlife from Being Poisoned
UPDATE (Aug 31, 2021): After collecting over 70K signatures (our initial goal was 10,000!), ACR has mailed a letter of protest to the CEO of the APVMA, Lisa Croft. Click the petition button below to read the full letter.
NSW Agriculture Minister Adam Marshall wants to use the powerful poison, bromadiolone as a pesticide to solve the state's mouse overpopulation crisis. Bromadiolone is so potent and reacts with the mice's bodies once ingested in such a way that it will definitely kill any animals that eat those mice. This includes wildlife and cats - even barn and pet cats. Sign our petition against the use of bromadiolone by NSW farmers.
