Monday, April 21, 2025 UPDATE: The hearing will NOT be on Tuesday, April 22. We are still waiting to hear about Thursday, April 24.
We are sending out a tentative request for you to join THLN at the Capitol next week for our Ethical Pet Sales Bill (SB 1652) hearing in the Senate. We currently have a tentative Senate hearing scheduled for either Tuesday, April 22, or Thursday, April 24. The date will be confirmed by Thursday, April 17, and we’ll notify you as soon as we have the official details.
This is our third session attempting to pass this bill. If it does not become law this session, the puppy mill pipeline to Texas will continue indefinitely and puppies will continue to suffer as a result. This bill is crucial to protecting the animals and consumers of Texas!
Please come to the Capitol and sign a card of support at the Witness Kiosk next week. Signing a card of support is simple and only takes a few minutes, but it could be the difference that tips the scales in our favor.
If you believe in this bill, now is the time to act. Please feel free to invite any animal lover you know of that supports this cause. Legislators will be watching to see who shows up for this bill and our opposition is strong. You may be the constituent that persuades your legislator to vote in support of Ethical Pet Sales.
We urge you to join us and fight to make Texas a better place for animals. Please RSVP and be in attendance on this pivotal day.
THLN thanks you for your support and dedication to protecting and improving the lives of Texas animals. We are extremely hopeful we’ll see you and share more details as soon as we have them.
