The NYC Council voted 43-6 last week to ban the use of wild animals in circuses. That wouldn’t have been possible without Council Members Rosie Mendez & Corey Johnson and the wonderful advocates who live in my beloved city. It’s an honor to spend time cordially encouraging leaders to modernize policies that have historically supported the industries that exploit animals for gain. The compassion, altruism and fairness that is extruded through these efforts is contagious and I always feel so inspired by the people around me working toward the proper and merciful treatment for the voiceless. I think it’s plain to see that the more benevolent we are, the kinder our world becomes. Times are changing, and there is no longer a place for wild animals in entertainment.

Consider getting involved with your city and state council! You can do so through The Humane Society of the United States or, if you live in NY, Empire State Humane Voters This is only the beginning and there is a huge wave of camaraderie across the nation. The more advocates the better and what a mission to be a part of! Well done New York for setting a great example.
