  • HD Carl Sherman, I did not see his name for endorsements.

  • Does your organization lobby judges, DAs, and Law Enforcement? Careers and money cannot replace moral competence.


    Also, is Shelby no longer with THLN? Thx!

    IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE TRYING TO REPORT A NEGLECT OR ABUSE SITUATION, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL HUMANE SOCIETY, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, OR LOCAL ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER - DO NOT LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR A THLN MEMBER AS WE ARE A LEGISLATIVE ORGANIZATION, NOT AN ENFORCEMENT AGENCY.

    THLN's purpose is to pass effective legislation for the animals in the Texas Legislature.  We do not have the resources to deal directly with animal cruelty or adoption issues, but we can recommend several organizations that do.

  • Certain people have been crying ‘black lives matter’ or ‘ all lives matters’ excluding animal life. We humans are in for more pandemics, natural catastrophes, and conflicts if we fail to recognize the value of animal life. The way we humans treat animals translates into how we treat each other…the most egregious treatment of animals are in factory farming, trophy hunting, rodeos, and bull/dog/cock fighting. Where does our moral competence? Life is more than human!
