2022 was extraordinarily successful for Animal Wellness Action and the Center for a Humane Economy. But Wayne Pacelle , president, and Marty Irby, executive director, tell host Joseph Grove they have even bigger plans for 2023.
In this episode of the Animal Wellness Podcast, the animal-welfare leaders recap some of their successes in the now-concluded 117th Congress, including:
-
Passing the Big Cat Public Safety Act
-
Passing the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act
-
Passing the FDA Modernization Act
-
Passing the Reducing Animal Testing Act
-
Helping craft and pass a fix to the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act, so it could survive a court challenge.
They also talk about work they plan as the Farm Bill comes up for its five-year congressional renewal, what’s ahead for horses, and plans to push the work of Animal Wellness Action deeper into state politics with ballot initiatives and a growing team of state directors and volunteers.
The discussion came as the group entered the zenith of its fundraising activities for the close of 2022.
