Thank you to all the Circus Fans, Agricultural Fair representatives, and other supporters who contacted members of the Massachusetts state legislature to oppose Senate Bill 1626, regarding the use of elephant management tools. On Thursday, March 13, the Committee on Tourism, Arts, and Cultural Development voted to place the bill into study, which means that the bill should not proceed any further this legislative session. However, we will continue to monitor this issue closely in case similar language appears on another bill.
We will keep you updated of any possible developments during the remainder of this legislative session, but yesterday’s vote by the Tourism and Arts Committee is the outcome we were hoping for. Thank you again for your efforts! |
