The Libre Report
I make regular appearances at fundraising and media events throughout the state. I’ve even been dubbed PA’s top animal welfare lobbyist! That's right, I hit the Hill to visit all of our elected officials whenever an important bill is being considered.
My story is still spreading!!!
Take a look at this coverage by The Dodo. They recapped my story of survival, and even threw in a photo from my love fest with Governor Wolf!

Support House Bill 1238, including Libre's Law!
House Bill 1238, which includes Libre's Law, has overwhelmingly passed in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives! On to the Senate. Don't forget to contact your Senator and ask for their support!
Great news, friends! HB 1238, introduced by Rep. Todd Stephens and 30 co-sponsors is a bi-partisan, comprehensive, anti-cruelty bill that not only provides needed updates to Pennsylvania’s cruelty statute, but adds many provisions of various cruelty bills that have been introduced this session including Senator Alloway’s and Rep Ryan Bizzaro’s Libre’s Laws strengthening penalties, tethering language, equine protections and more. It is great to see so many humane legislators get together to offer a comprehensive anti-cruelty bill.
We need everyone to do 2 things:
