  • 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!

    Animal-Related Helpline: 1-888-548-6263

    IMPORTANT: To report animal neglect or abuse, contact the LOCAL law enforcement agency, animal control officer, or humane society in the community. 

    THLN focuses on legislation and advocacy--we are not an enforcement agency and cannot respond to cruelty reports. Our mission is to pass effective legislation for the animals in the Texas Legislature. We do not have the resources to address animal cruelty or adoption issues directly, 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!
