Your assistance is needed to help animals

This Thursday, the House of Representatives Government Reform Committee will hold hearings on the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina. Please contact the committee chairman, Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia, and committee member Rep. Henry Waxman of California, and ask them to allow PETA to testify at the hearings about the federal blockade of animal rescuers.

It is also a good idea to ask them to make sure that the welfare of animals is included in any local, state, or federal disaster plan.

If you live in their states, you may use Davis's and Waxman's website email forms. If you live elsewhere, you must call them:

Rep. Tom Davis: 202-225-1492
Rep. Henry Waxman: 202-225-3976
