Hello Supporters, This is the Virginia Senate Subcommittee hearing on SB872, a bill that would protect dogs in harsh weather. This took place on February 1, 2018. Speaking on behalf of the bill are Matthew Gray (HSUS), Daphna Nachminovitch (PETA), and Kimberly Hawk (The HOWS Project). You will also get to hear someone speak in opposition to the bill. The video is approximately 18 minutes long, but I urge you to watch it in its entirety to get a feel for the legislative process. The Senate Subcommittee PASSED SB872, and it will now be heard by the full Senate. Timeline: Monday, February 5: Bill will be read. Tuesday, February 6: Bill will be discussed. Wednesday: February 6: Bill will be voted on. Please use these few extra days to contact your Virginia State Senator and ask them to VOTE YES on SB872!!!!!
