Dear John,
Today, the New York City Council passed a landmark package of measures that will spare countless animals from suffering each year—including Intro 1378A, a bill to ban the sale of cruel force-fed foie gras in NYC.
LCA is proud to be part of the coalition—which is led by Voters for Animals Rights ([link removed]) —that has worked tirelessly to pass this bill. Once signed into law by Mayor de Blasio, Intro 1378A will make New York City the largest city in the world to ban foie gras.

On June 18, 2019, LCA's President Chris DeRose was among the many supporters who testified before New York City's health committee in favor of the foie gras ban.
Intro 1202A (a bill that protects wild birds from poaching), Intro 1425A (the carriage horse heat relief bill), and Intro 1478A (a bill that creates a mayoral office in NYC dedicated to animal welfare) were also included in the animal protection package and passed by the council.
The coalition is incredibly proud of Council Member Carlina Rivera for championing Intro 1378A through the City Council and of Speaker Corey Johnson for including it in his landmark animal package. Thank you to those who testified before the City Council and to those who reached out to their council members in support of this bill
—the coalition couldn't have done it without your help!
