    Lacey Act FAQ and Connecticut reminder

    Lacey Act Frequently Act Questions (FAQ)
    We have compiled a comprehensive list of questions and answers regarding the unsettling Lacey Act amendments found in the America COMPETES Act. Please read and share to keep animal communities and businesses informed. This is especially helpful on social media where we have seen misinformation posted regarding this issue. This FAQ is a very valuable and informative tool to keep everyone educated. Thank you to everyone opposing these disturbing and overreaching changes to the Lacey Act!

    ALERT: Connecticut
    UPDATE: A hearing is scheduled for March 14 at 10:00 AM. You must register to testify (choice of Zoom or by phone) by Sunday, March 13 at 3:00 PM EST. Animal rights extremists are winning this one with greater support than our opposition! Click the link below to register to testify!

    We have sample messaging, email submission forms, directions to testify, and more at https://usark.org/22ct/.
    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/.

    The Lacey Act FAQ's really help to clarify the meaning of these amendments.
