Of all the existing federal laws to protect animals, 15 passed due to the substantial efforts of the Society for Animal Protective Legislation (SAPL). Nine strengthening amendments have also been ratified under SAPL’s guidance. Today, we continue to seek improvements on existing laws and focus on issues such as banning the use of steel jaw leghold traps, the slaughter of horses for human consumption and the sale of dogs and cats to laboratories by random source dealers. An updated timeline of all legislative initiatives advanced by SAPL over its 50-year history is now available. To receive a free copy, please contact us.
