Nebraskans asked state lawmakers to further strengthen state animal protection laws during Humane Lobby Day on Monday (Feb. 24).

Participants urged state lawmakers to support legislation pertaining to several animal-related issues, including penalties for animal abandonment and neglect and prairie dog population management. Advocates urged against passage of a bill that would permit the sport hunting of mountain lions. The Humane Society of the United States sponsored Humane Lobby Day.

The Humane Society of the United States is the nation’s largest animal protection organization, rated the most effective by its peers. Since 1954, The HSUS has been fighting for the protection of all animals through advocacy, education and hands-on programs.

HSUS rescues and cares for tens of thousands of animals each year, but its primary mission is to prevent cruelty before it occurs. More details may be found at humanesociety.org.
