UPDATES

• Farm Bill passed last week with the Healthy Dog Importation Act still intact. Please reach out to your senator and ask that they pass a “Clean Farm Bill” as is with no markups.
• TAHC Issues Annual Reminder of Chronic Wasting Disease Requirements for Exotic Susceptible Species
• It is my understanding that NYC is focusing on food and affordability so none of the animal bills have much of a chance for movement.
• We still need letters in NY for live fish as prizes and kangaroos. Let me know if you need talking points.
