Sign the Animal Bill of Rights

Dear Governor:

As a supporter of the Animal Legal Defense Fund, I believe that animals deserve basic legal protections, recognized and enforced by law. I ask that you please use the power of your office to advocate for laws or policies that embody the spirit and principles of the following rights:

The Right of animals to have their interests represented in court and safeguarded by the law without impediments.
The Right of animals to have their status recognized under the law as living, feeling beings capable of a wide range of positive and negative experiences.
The Right of animals to be protected under the law from exploitation and cruelty.
The Right of animals in the wild to self-determination and an environment that allows them to engage in behavior natural to their species.
The Right of animals under human care to have their species-specific and individual needs fulfilled to maximize their physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
The Right of animals subject to criminal acts to be legally recognized as crime victims.

Thank you for your attention and action to protect animals.
