What are the bill sponsors saying the reason for the ban is?? It seems idiotic. How do you expect people to care about things they dont know, see, or experience?

[@usark_official]

These bills are driven by animal rights groups trying to remove all animals from our lives, including pets. They lobby legislators, mislead them, and tell them that it will prevent animal cruelty in circuses. Animal cruelty laws already exist and this is just another step on their agenda.

Alright. Step 1 done before bed. I will continue on to step two and three shortly. My state will be hearing from me. That's for sure!

[@usark_official]

Thank you for making your voice heard! 🐢

[@scottishrob1]

Not my state, but what one state does; others will attempt.

[@Yavashii]

This bill came up again?? Whelp, time to write up another email. Thank you for the heads up!

[@usark_official]

Thank you! 🐸

[@kevinpoe8137]

I think it’s about power and control

[@christopherbrown2222]

Thank you for this alert! Can I contribute even though I do not live in Washington State?

[@usark_official]

For these local and state issues, it is most important for residents and constituents to contact the legislators. If you know anyone in Washington, please let them know!

[@nostalgiakarlk.f.7386]

Ah, the joys of statism...

[@cmmconstrictors5971]

What happened.

[@TVelodrome]

Have a normal conversation man 😅
Just cut it 🕊️🎬🎞️

[@HiopX]

But why though? Does teaching about animals cause invasive species as well now?
