Each year the ASPCA sponsors Animal Advocacy Day to champion the rights of animals. The latest initiative is getting the HEART Act passed through congress. ASPCA explains:
"The Help Extract Animals from Red Tape (HEART) Act (H.R. 398/S. 2633) would expedite the lengthy process for rehoming and rehabilitating animals seized in federal animal fighting cases. It would also hold their owners financially responsible for their cost of care, relieving the burden on the shelters that house and care for victims pending the outcome of court proceedings.
Notably, the HEART Act would allow courts to consider animals' welfare when facing delays in the judicial process. These victims of animal fighting deserve every chance we can give them to move swiftly to their new lives, and the shelters and law enforcement agencies who come to their rescue should not be hampered by the sometimes overwhelming financial burden of their care."
