[David Bedell]

Connecticut. Follow this link to take action on CT S.B. 994, AN ACT
CONCERNING LEGHOLD TRAPS:

For other CT legislation to combat violence against animals, see the website
of a new organization, "Connecticut Votes for Animals":

Greens should support these campaigns in some cases because they are good
for the environment, but mainly because they promote nonviolence.

Gandhi: "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by
the way its animals are treated."
