MSPCA-Angell, Five Shelter Partners Holding Love is Blind-Themed Adoption Event    

The MSPCA has serious concerns about rodeos because of the pain and suffering animals often experience while training for and competing in rodeo events. We are also concerned about transportation: animals are frequently kept in transit for long periods without being unloaded.

This legislation would restrict the use of Anticoagulant Rodenticides (ARs) in Massachusetts to protect wildlife, pets, people, and the environment.

This omnibus legislation represents a meaningful step toward a more humane, responsible, and forward-looking Massachusetts. Together, they demonstrate Massachusetts’ continued leadership in setting thoughtful, achievable standards that protect animals and people alike.

The MSPCA has seen an unprecedented rise in the number of animals surrendered to our shelters because of rising housing pressures on pet families.
