Thank you to Speaker Ron Mariano, Chair Aaron Michlewitz + HWM for passing 3 crucial pieces of animal protection legislation today. Ollie’s Law, the traveling acts bill + the removal of DCF breed restrictions on families wanting to foster or adopt make MA a better/safer place for all. 🐾
🚨Mass. residents, we need your help getting important animal welfare bills across the finish line! With Wednesday's deadline fast approaching, several measures are awaiting a vote in the State Senate, learn more about one of them here via The Boston Globe: bostonglobe.com/2024/07/25/met… 1/
#DidYouKnow Mass. currently has no rules and regs for doggie daycare and boarding facilities? Help keep pups safe by urging your state senators to pass Ollie’s Law before the legislative session ends tomorrow! Learn more about it here, via Athol Daily News atholdailynews.com/Mass-House-app…
EEK! The MA Senate JUST passed the Circus Bill-prohibiting the use of elephants, big cats, primates, bears and giraffes in traveling shows in MA. It passed the House last week, and now only has a few technical hurdles before heading to Maura Healey desk! #mapoli 🐘🦒🦍🐆🐻
As lawmakers await of litany negotiations to wrap, other bills are moving w/ session nearing its end: Maura Healey now has a proposal that would bar circuses from using elephants, big cats, and other animals in their acts. Background here: bostonglobe.com/2024/07/25/met… The Boston Globe
It’s official! Maura Healey signed into law a major animal welfare bill that bans the use of elephants, big cats, primates, giraffes and bears in traveling shows. MSPCA Animal Advocacy Specialist, Liz Magner, calls it a victory that’s two decades in the making 1/

Great news!! Ollie’s Law–a measure that would require reasonable rules and regs for doggie daycares and boarding facilities–is heading to Maura Healey's desk! The law is named after a sweet dog who died from injuries sustained during a fight between dogs at a daycare 1/
We're grateful to Brian Ashe, Senator Montigny, and Senator Jake Oliveira for their sponsorship and leadership on Ollie’s Law. Thanks as well to Senate President Spilka, Speaker Ron Mariano, Michael J. Rodrigues, and Aaron Michlewitz making this bill a priority this session!
