Find out what law makers (legislators) represent the state where the animal is in

CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT THE STATE LEGISLATORS

Believe it or not, legislators (elected officials who make laws) want to hear from you! They represent you and want to know about your concerns. If you are not in their jurisdiction, you still have the legal right to contact them about your concerns for animals and even one animal. Your input is the most important part of the legislative process because it can determine how legislators will vote. If we, as animal advocates, are not involved in the legislative process, we cannot complain when laws affecting animals go against them. Each time you make a phone call or send a letter, you are letting legislators know that you speak for animals. Animals do not vote but you do! If your legislators are not responsive to your concerns, elect those who are!
