Connecticut House Bill 5293 (HB5293) is another “traveling animal act” ban with broad-sweeping implications. HB5293 prohibits using most animals (see below) in mobile educational programs, which will include the outreach programs provided by many animal keepers. The stated purpose, “To prohibit the use of wild and exotic animals in traveling circuses.” is disingenuous and misleading as the consequences go well beyond circuses, and the radical animal rights groups that write these bills know it.
This is a ban on educational programs in classrooms, public libraries, at Scout Troop meetings, and more. Get all details and action steps at https://usark.org/22ct/. |
