I believe animals should be treated with care, not cruelty. As a result, I am proud to consistently fight for animal welfare in Congress. I have helped lead the effort to end government agencies from wasting taxpayer dollars on inhumane animal experiments. I’ve also introduced legislation to make sure animals are taken care of in times of emergencies and natural disasters. Finally, I will continue to defend wild horses and burros which are too often threatened despite their importance to so many of us in the West.
