Celebrating Animal Rights Advances in 2009
By Michael Markarian
As we ring in the new year tonight, let’s celebrate the progress made for animals in 2009. It was a record-breaking year for animal protection lawmaking, with 121 new state laws enacted, including major public policies to crack down on animal fighting, puppy mills, factory farming, and other large-scale cruelties. We made gains in Congress for pets, wildlife, farm animals, and animals in research, and we set the stage for getting many of our key federal priorities over the finish line in 2010.
I hope you’ll be uplifted by our year-end victories video. This work, and this kind of progress, occurs because of your active involvement and your participation in the public process. Please join the Humane Society Legislative Fund in achieving even more victories for animals in the year ahead.

I am so sorry but I just can't look at the
suffering of animals any more, it is just too
heart breaking, but I will read. When I look
at these videos of animal abuse that are so
very horrific, I just want to say put all
these humans inside institutions to live and
work, and that money go to help animals.
Maybe these animal abusers will learn in time.
They have had a rough beginning perhaps and I
have sympathy for them, but please put them
inside (not a jail)just a large building for
them to live and work. It will save animals &
humans from a horrible crime .Animals are so
pure and innocent they need a much better life,
freedom and love.
