The transition of power is in full swing in DC, and some of the faces are, well, quite known to animal advocates. For example, the lead in one of the transition teams is one of the nation’s biggest defenders of puppy mills and antagonists of HSUS in particular. (BTW, did you know Donald Trump will be the first president in 150 years without a companion animal?)
Speaking of puppy mills, it’s imperative that Ohio Gov. John Kasich veto a terrible provision of a bill that hit his desk this past week. Check out more on the details and what you can do.
Finally, are you looking for holiday gifts? HSUS’s newest author, Eddie Garza, has a cookbook that just came out yesterday. Check it out!

P.S. Video of the week: I can only hope to be invited to a holiday party as cool as this pumpkin party.
