Humane Society of the United States-Ohio to present Animal Welfare Update

Humane Society Logo with the text: The Humane Society of the United States
April 15, 2014
12:10 pm - 1:00 pm
Drinko Hall, Room 251

The Humane Society of the United States invites our members and supporters to join The HSUS's Ohio Director of Outreach and Engagement to discuss current issues and learn what you can do for animals in Ohio.

This Ohio Animal Welfare Update will include a discussion of pending and proposed animal welfare legislation as well as some of the Humane Society of the United States' animal protection programs.

The presentation will include recent successes such as Ohio's puppy mill bill, dangerous exotic animal restrictions, and the Livestock Care Standards board. We will also discuss ongoing challenges including passing a felony cockfighting bill and legislation to include pets in personal protection orders (restraining orders), outlaw bestiality, end euthanasia by gas chamber, and other important issues. We will also discuss The HSUS's farm animal protection programs, including the recently formed HSUS Agriculture Advisory Council for Ohio. Hope to see you there!
