Social media gives the animal vote a great tool to help animals in Pennsylvania. Legislators, especially the newer generation, are increasingly connecting with their constituents on Facebook and Twitter.
Build online connections with your friends and other like-minded individuals, so you can help motivate, and in turn leverage their collective voices when key legislation is facing critical votes. Here are ways that we can all use social media to help give animals a political voice in Harrisburg and in turn pass stronger anti-cruelty bills in Pennsylvania:
Stay informed
Stay informed on animal bills pending in Pennsylvania by connecting with the organizations that are providing expertise on legislation. For information specific to PA animal bills and alerts when bills move, sign up for Humane PA e-alerts, follow its blog and of course Facebook and Twitter and share, share and share some more. Humane PA posts actions or information to help us more effectively work to change laws in Pennsylvania on daily basis. Also sign up for action alerts from national animal protection organizations. They often send alerts that make it easy to take action and share!

Friend and follow your legislators, and Humane PA on Facebook and Twitter

Animals need a voice! People who abuse animals should be punished severely!
Thanks Lynn! That is exactly why we founded Humane PA – to make sure that animal lovers in PA have the tools they need to make a difference for animals in PA!
Thanks , I have recently been looking for information approximately this subject for ages and yours is the greatest I’ve discovered
so far. But, what concerning the bottom line? Are you sure concerning the source?
Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this site. It’s simple,
yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability
and appearance. I must say you have done a fantastic job with this.
Additionally, the blog loads very fast for me
on Safari. Superb Blog!
Thank you!
Can I ask if there is someone in particular I would reach out to to lodge a complaint about the Luzerne County Game Commission? I have a number of complaints. Thank you
So sorry to just see this message Anonymous. Did you try the PGC headquarters? If not – try your state senator.
