🚨 URGENT: Help Advance Animal Protection Bills in Iowa


Iowa has a real opportunity right now to strengthen protections for pets—but these bills will stall and die without immediate Senate action.


The House has done its job NOW the Senate must act—and they need to hear from YOU.


📧 TAKE ACTION NOW


👉 Email all Iowa Senators: allsenators@legis.iowa.gov

⏱️ Takes 1–2 minutes💥 Makes a real impact


🎯 What Needs to Happen


When you write, ask for these specific actions:


  • SF 2099 (Animal Torture Bill)→ Bring it to the Senate floor for a vote

  • HF 2298 (Breeder Oversight / Inspections)→ Assign a subcommittee→ Advance it through the Senate Agriculture Committee

  • HF 2190 (Proof of Dog Ownership)→ Assign a subcommittee in Judiciary this week→ Move it through committee


👉 If these steps don’t happen soon… these bills die this session


🧠 Talking Points (Use What Resonates With You)


You don’t need to include everything—pick what feels right:

  • These are common-sense protections for pets

  • SF 2099 targets only extreme, intentional acts of torture

  • These bills do NOT affect farming or normal animal practices

  • Animal cruelty is often linked to broader violence in communities

  • HF 2298 improves oversight and accountability, not bureaucracy

  • HF 2190 reflects modern ID methods like microchips

  • These passed the House with strong bipartisan support

  • Iowans have been asking for this for years

Subject:  Please Advance Animal Protection Bills


Hi Senator,


I’m reaching out to ask you to take action on several animal protection bills that have already passed the Iowa House.


I care about this issue because [share your story here—your pet, your family, your values, or why this matters to you].

Please:

  • Bring SF 2099 to the Senate floor for a vote

  • Move HF 2298 through subcommittee and the Agriculture Committee

  • Advance HF 2190 through Judiciary


These are practical, targeted bills that address real problems without impacting responsible animal owners or farmers.


I’d really appreciate your support in moving these forward before the session ends.

Thank you for your time and service.
