OTHER: Had conversations with PA House and Senate members over PFB's concerns over scheduling xylazine due to animal welfare concerns. Xylazine is a commonly used animal tranquilizer used in the veterinary field, but it is now being laced with fentanyl. While PFB understands the impact it is having on fatal drug overdoses, animals rely on the drug for life saving medical procedures. Therefore, not having readily available access poses a danger to the animal's life. - Informed Hill staffers that PFB is supportive of Rep. Clyde's letter to protect poultry farmers from unfair trade restrictions - namely from China - due to WOAHs outdated definition of poultry. - Participated in prop 12 roundtable led by Chairman "GT" Thompson with other House Members.

Asked PA House Members to support H.R.1437, the Black Vulture Relief Act by Representatives John Rose (R-TN) and Darren Soto (D-FL). This bill would allow livestock producers to take black vultures without a permit if the bird is causing death or injury to their animals. Asked PA House Members to support and co-sponsor H.Res.588 by Representatives Barry Moore (R-AL) and Daniel Kildee (D-MI). This resolution would express the sense of the House of Representatives that research and promotion boards (checkoffs) support efforts to develop new markets and strengthen existing markets for specific commodities while conducting important research and promotional activities via pooled resources and stakeholder investments. Asked PA House and Senate Members to oppose S.557/H.R.1249, the Opportunities for Fairness in Farming (OFF) Act by Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Mike Lee (R-UT) and Representatives Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Dina Titus (D-NV).

Therefore, not having readily available access poses a danger to the animal's life. Monitored S.993/H.R.1839, the Combating Illicit Xylazine Act by Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Representative Jimmy Panetta (D-CA-19). This bill would schedule xylazine as a controlled substance.

Had conversations with PA House and Senate members over PFB's concerns over scheduling xylazine due to animal welfare concerns. Xylazine is a commonly used animal tranquilizer used in the veterinary field, but it is now being laced with fentanyl. While PFB understands the impact it is having on fatal drug overdoses, animals rely on the drug for life saving medical procedures. Therefore, not having readily available access poses a danger to the animal's life. Monitored S.993/H.R.1839, the Combating Illicit Xylazine Act by Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Representative Jimmy Panetta (D-CA-19). This bill would schedule xylazine as a controlled substance. Asked PA House Members to support and co-sponsor H.Res.588 (no title). This resolution would express the sense of the House of Representatives that research and promotion boards (checkoffs) support efforts to develop new markets and strengthen existing markets for specific commodities while conducting important research and promotional activities via pooled resources and stakeholder investments. Lobbied PA House and Senate Members for increased resources to help combat the most recent outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza.
