For those of you in the Greater Boston area (or in MA in general), there is a lobby day for animals at the Statehouse on April 26 from approximately 10 am to 4 pm.  You'll get a chance to talk to your senators and representatives about humane legislation and why it is important to you, the community, and the animals.  The event is being sponsored by the MSPCA and the HSUS.  You can register for it on the MSPCA website at here.  Registering lets the organizers appropriately plan face-to-face meetings between you and your elected officials.
