Hey Divas! It's me, Sydni! While there's no new episode this week (the week of 3/1) , I did want to share something very important with you all. The Kentucky Humane Society has issued a call to action to help bolster their efforts to get House Bill 57, which many are calling EATHANS LAW, passed. This bill is very important.
If you haven't followed Ethan's story, Eathan is a sweet little pit bull er terrier or some kind of breed, the important thing is, he is a sweet angel baby and we love him. When he was found in late January, he weighed only 38 pounds. He was starving and took weak to walk on his own or even lift up his head. But now, thanks to the incredible work of the Kentucky Humane Society, and the kind donations of many animal lovers across the country, Ethan is almost to his goal weight of 80 pounds!
House Bill 57 would directly save the lives of animals across the commonwealth, like Ethan, by expanding the definition of animal torture to include intention gross neglect or abandonment with restraints, like dropping a dog off but tethering them to a tree on the side of an old dirt road, where they do not have a fighting chance to find shelter, food and water.
Wonderfully, and unsurprisingly, the bill is very popular among the public and has 46 representatives of the house on both sides, signing up to cosponsor the bill. But that isn't a guarunteed victory. If this bill goes to the senate, it will need immediate action. If you are a Kentucky resident, please call 1-800-372-7181 and ask the senate leadership and your senator to welcome this bill and pass it. The Kentucky Humane Society does such great work every day for animals all across Kentucky & I'm so grateful to them. Please consider supporting them by making a call today. If you're not a resident, you can LIKE, RETWEET, SHARE THIS TWEET ON OTHER PLATFORMS- Get the word out for Ethan! It would mean a lot to me personally, and a lot to animals like Eathan.
I'll talk to you all again next week with a regular movie episode. Byee!
