National Ban on Animal Programs Federal Senate Bill 3220 (S3220) is another “traveling animal act” ban that misleads as to its intention. This bill text is nearly identical to state bills (North Carolina and Oregon) from 2021. It is obvious that animal rights groups are pitching this text not only from state to state but also to Congress. S3220 prohibits using certain animals (list below that even includes tortoises and small monitors) in "traveling animal acts," which will include the educational outreach programs provided by many animal keepers. S3220 would amend Section 13 of the Animal Welfare Act (7 U.S.C. 24 2143) to include this ban on animal programs.
This bill, titled “Traveling Animal and Public Safety Protection Act of 2021," includes an introduction rife with misinformation with the intent to spark emotion while misleading the reader. The animal rights groups always fight with emotion over fact and they target legislators who fall for their games or sympathize with the animal rights agenda to remove all animals from our lives. This is an animal rights written bill! A legislator did not author this bill. Animal rights is a radical ideology against keeping any animals under human care (i.e. no pets, no livestock, no zoos, etc.). It is far different than animal welfare which supports animals being kept humanely.
