There are a couple of fundamental premises that guide HSLF’s political advocacy for animals. Every year is an election year—and every election is an opportunity to improve the lives of animals. This year was no exception.
Thankfully, more and more animal advocates have joined our ranks—and as a result, an increasing number of candidates for public office are focused on ways to earn their votes. Whether we look at the U.S. Congress or at our state capitols, the influence of animal protection continues to grow in American politics.
