It's official! This week, Governor Healey signed into law a major #AnimalWelfare bill that bans the use of #elephants, big #cats, #primates, #giraffes and #bears in traveling shows. Says MSPCA #Animal Advocacy Specialist, Liz Magner, “This victory is two decades in the making and is the result of tireless advocacy by Massachusetts legislators, animal protection organizations, and local advocates—all of whom never gave up.”
