Our group is primarily focused on WV Law.
However there is a federal bill in Congress which is HR Bill 7380 which is entitled the PURR ACT which would eliminate the state in the pet food regulation process. That would be catastrophic for the current WVSNP funding. Also pet food safety is affected. Right now both FDA and the State regulate and inspect pet food. Why eliminate the state, removing these dollars from the state level and removing a level of safety for pet food. This is a bad bill nationally and a bad bill for WV.
Check further with The Humane Society of the United States (www.hsus.org) or The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (www.aspca.org) for more information on Federal Legislation that impacts animals. You can sign up for action alerts from both the HSUS or ASPCA to keep you posted.
The most current congressional contact information is on the HSUS & ASPCA sites. It is easily found by entering your zip code.
The Animal Legal Defense Fund (http://aldf.org/) is also a good site for this type of information.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. (http://www.peta.org/)
There are several very effective animal groups. We have named the ones with which we have had the most contact in affecting animal law.
