Today I am posting the second installment of the “Animals & Politics” podcast, hosted by Patrick Ferrise, where I discuss a package of proposals to save more than $1 billion in federal spending on wasteful programs that harm animals. Click on the player below to listen, or click here
I hope you will also take action by contacting your own members of Congress and the Super Committee, asking them to support this package of spending cuts to improve efficiency and tangibly improve animal welfare in our nation. It’s time to find a new way forward, and rein in this profligate misuse of taxpayer dollars.
Michael Markarian - Animals & Politics Podcast #2
Michael Markarian is the president of the Humane Society Legislative Fund, a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization that lobbies for animal welfare legislation and works to elect humane-minded candidates to public office. In almost 15 years in the animal protection movement, Markarian has worked for the passage of countless state laws and federal statutes to protect animals, in addition to helping defeat some of the strongest anti-animal welfare politicians in the United States.
