Trading in Bear Parts: The Bear Protection Act | Animal Law Coalition
Help stop the trade in bear products, specifically bile and gall bladder.
A bill pending before Congress would amend the Lacey Act of 1981,16 U.S.C. §§3371, 3372, and ban the import, export and interstate trade of these bear parts.
The bill, the Bear Protection Act of 2009, H.R. 3480, was introduced by Reps. Raul M. Grijalva (D-AZ) and John Campbell (R-CA).
The bill already has 30 co-sponsors. Find out if your representative is a co-sponsor
and if not, write or call and urge him or her to sign on as a co-sponsor to H.R. 3480, the Bear Protection Act of 2009. If your U.S. representative is a co-sponsor already, thank him or her!
