🚨 HAPPENING TOMORROW: TWO IMPORTANT BILLS IN THE ARKANSAS SENATE 🚨
The Arkansas State Senate is discussing two bills after 10am tomorrow that could impact both animals and the environment:
🔹 House Bill 1611 (HB1611) – Addresses changes to current laws on cockfighting. We all know allowing cockfighting leads to more dogfighting in the state, where cats and dogs are used for bait.
🔹 Senate Bill 290 (SB290) – Proposes changes to environmental protections for the Buffalo National River.
Contact your state senator before 9am 4/2 to politely express your thoughts.
