Stop the Next Pandemic

View this email in a browser. [[link removed]] [[link removed]]Dear John,

Wild animals sold in commercial wildlife markets endure extreme stress and
unsanitary conditions before being slaughtered. Live markets concentrate a
diversity of animals into small spaces, packing and stacking them on top of one
another, creating a breeding ground for deadly pathogens. The Preventing Future
Pandemics Act (S. 4749/H.R. 8433) aims to shut down these dangerous and cruel
markets.

Please urge your federal legislators to co-sponsor the Preventing Future
Pandemics Act today

TAKE ACTION [[link removed]]The bill would work to shut down commercial wildlife markets and associated
wildlife trade by prohibiting the import, export, and sale of live wild animals
for human consumption in the United States and funding programs to phase out the
demand for wildlife as a food source.

As the world continues to grapple with COVID-19, our continued exploitation of
animals and our environment is likely fueling the next pandemic. Shutting down
commercial wildlife markets — and the international wildlife trade — is critical
both to reducing the risk of novel zoonotic disease and animal suffering.

For the animals,
Alicia Prygoski
Legislative Affairs Manager
