On January 25th, Animal Legal Defense Fund and contract forensic veterinarian Dr. Kris Otteman deployed to Detroit, Michigan to assist in the largest dog-fighting bust in the state’s history. newsweek.com/detroit-police-…
We have a long way to go until animals are fully protected under the legal system as they deserve, but as this year’s @ALDF Rankings Report shows, step by step, we as a nation are improving how the law treats animals.

Another demonstration of why the Big Cat Public Safety Act is so important! This important legislation provides a clear framework for protecting big cats in the U.S. who have been vulnerable to the perils of private ownership.

Join me this Thursday for our third annual Justice for Animals. We’ve made landmark strides for animals over the past year, and I’m excited to share these victories with you as we come together to celebrate, raise funds, and honor animal advocates. aldf.org/jfa
Great news! The #BigCatPublicSafetyAct has been signed into law!
BREAKING: A huge thank you to @POTUS for signing the Big Cat Public Safety Act into law! This is incredible news for big cats all over the country. Thank the bill sponsors:@SenBlumenthal @SenatorCollins @SenatorCarper @SenatorBurr @RepMikeQuigley and @RepBrianFitz!
Great news! We are encouraged to see support for the legislation from both chambers of Congress and hope the President moves quickly to sign this bipartisan bill into law.
Had a productive meeting with NY Assembly member, @LindaBRosenthal, discussing her many animal welfare bills as well as @ALDF's priorities. Can't wait for the new 2023 legislative session!
From all of us @ALDF, thank you for defending animals! In each fight to protect animals and win justice on their behalf, you are there beside us. You are the reason more animals get the second chances they deserve. Wishing you a peaceful and compassionate holiday!🦃

We are very sad to report that Ryder, the emaciated horse who collapsed in NYC while pulling a carriage, has died 💔 Help us make Ryder's tragic death the last one. Sign our petition to the New York City Council calling for a ban on this abusive industry: aldf.org/NYC.
This should be yet another wake-up call for legislators to stop putting animal agriculture’s corporate interests in front of constituents’ constitutional rights and the public’s interests in protecting animals and the environment. 👏
Another victory for freedom of speech and truthful labeling! Our challenge against Arkansas’ label law is victorious! 🎉🎉🎉 @Tofurky

A bull was severely injured during a Professional Bull Riders traveling show held on George Mason University’s campus. Harming animals is not entertainment! Take action now to ban Professional Bull Riders from state-owned venues: aldf.org/banPBR #rodeocruelty
We have reached a tipping point and it is time for the New York City Council to carry out the will of the voters and institute a ban on horse-drawn carriages. Sign the petition⬇️

This month we're raising awareness about the treatment of farmed animals and the lack of meaningful laws that protect them. A great way to show your support is by changing your social media profile picture to one of four farmed animal avatars! Simply screenshot + update! #SOFAM
