UPDATES
Please help us oppose CT HB 5293, An Act Prohibiting The Use Of Wild Or Exotic Animals In Traveling Animal Acts. This bill would negatively impact Mr. Commerford, who brings his animals to the Big E every year. There have been two hearings and new, amended language has been accepted. USARK has a good write up of the timeline for this bill here.
