With the second session of the 115th Congress well underway, AWI president Cathy Liss sent a letter to House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) requesting support for these legislative priorities in the coming year: the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act (HR 1494), the Pet and Women Safety Act (HR 909), the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act (HR 1456), and the Humane Cosmetics Act (HR 2790). All of these bills have significant numbers of bipartisan cosponsors; well over half of the members of the House cosponsor three of them. AWI has asked Majority Leader McCarthy to bring these humane, reasonable, and widely supported bills to the House floor for a vote.
