From the Desk of Vanessa Gagne
UPDATES
TX HB 3710, a ban on direct contact with certain exotic animals, was heard in committee last Monday the 12th. Several interested parties went to testify in opposition. There were a few activists present - it is being pushed by HSUS and THLN. The bill was left pending in committee and it is not likely that it will progress to a vote.
