HUMANE SCORECARDReport on the 115th Congress, Second Session

Preview version—October 2018

1 2018 HUMANE SCORECARD, PREVIEW VERSION 2018 | HSLF.ORG

How HSLF calculated scoresMany animal protection issues never receive a recorded vote in Congress. Some are enacted by voice vote, and some languish. To accurately measure legislators’ support, we count not just recorded votes but other meaningful ways they can help issues advance, such as co-sponsoring key bills and co-signing letters seeking increased enforcement of animal welfare laws. There are dozens of animal protection bills introduced each year; in order to give a balanced snapshot across a broad range of concerns, we only count co-sponsorship of a few priority bills that have a critical mass of support and a reasonable chance of enactment. Scores are given as percentages of the number of items counted. Prime sponsors of legislation and those who led on a letter to an agency also receive extra credit equal to one vote or co-sponsorship and a in the Leaders col-umn. Those who led on multiple legislative and/or regulatory efforts or led on a top priority issue receive double extra credit equal to two votes or co-sponsorships and a in the Leaders column. If a legislator already has a score of 100 before counting the extra credit for Leaders, that score appears in bold with a plus sign.

HSLF acknowledges the limitations of judging legislators based on a few votes, co-sponsorships, joint letters and leadership on animal issues. In some cases, legislators must miss votes for unavoidable reasons, such as a death in the fam-ily, serious illness or emergency in their district. Please also consider such unrecorded matters as performance on committees, positions of House or Senate leadership, constituent service and co-sponsorship of other animal protection bills not included in the scorecard.

Horse soring A indicates co-sponsorship of the Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act (S. 2957) to crack down on the cruel practice of “sor-ing,” in which trainers deliberately inflict pain on the hooves and legs of Tennessee walking horses and related breeds to force them to perform an unnaturally high-step-ping gait for competitions. Congress passed the Horse Protection Act almost 50 years ago to end this abuse, but rampant soring continues, as shown in a 2010 audit by the USDA inspector general and by HSUS un-dercover investigations in 2012 and 2015. The PAST Act would end the failed system of industry self-policing, ban the use of de-vices associated with soring, strengthen penalties and make illegal the actual soring of a horse—all without any additional tax-payer burden.SPONSORS: Sens. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho; Mark Warner, D-Va. Pets and domestic violenceA indicates co-sponsorship of the Pet and Women Safety (PAWS) Act (S. 322), which would expand current federal domestic vio-lence protections to include pets and autho-rize grant money to help domestic violence shelters accommodate pets or arrange for pet shelter. Currently, only 3 percent of these shelters allow pets, and many people delay their decision to leave a violent situ-ation out of fear for their pets’ safety (a le-gitimate concern considering that up to 84 percent of women entering shelters report-ed that their partners abused or killed the family pet). While 32 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have adopted similar legislation, the PAWS Act would en-sure protection across the country. SPONSORS: Sens. Gary Peters, D-Mich.; Dean Heller, R-Nev.

Animal fightingA indicates co-sponsorship of the Par-ity in Animal Cruelty Enforcement (PACE) Act (S. 2971), which would clarify that fed-eral prohibitions on animal fighting apply equally to all U.S. jurisdictions, including U.S. territories. The PACE Act would pro-tect animals from vicious cruelty, protect JA

communities from other criminal activ-ity often linked to animal fighting, reduce public health threats from the transmission of bird flu and other diseases, and enhance enforcement of the federal animal fighting law across the U.S.SPONSORS: Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J.; Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.

Horse slaughter A indicates co-sponsorship of the Safe-guard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act (S. 1706) to protect horses and consumers by prohibiting the transport and export of U.S. horses to slaughter for human con-sumption. American horses are not raised for food and are routinely given drugs that can be toxic to people if ingested. Horse slaughter is cruel, and the U.S. public over-whelmingly opposes it. Horses are shipped for long distances and are often seriously injured or killed in transit. At the slaughter

plant, the methods used to kill horses rarely result in quick, painless deaths. This preda-tory industry doesn’t “euthanize” old, sick horses; young and healthy horses are pur-chased, often by buyers misrepresenting their intentions, and killed for the overseas horsemeat market.SPONSORS: Sens. Robert Menendez, D-N.J.; Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.; Susan Collins, R-Maine Shark fin tradeA indicates co-sponsorship of the Shark Fin Trade Elimination Act (S. 793) to pro-tect sharks from cruelty and preserve our oceans’ fragile ecosystems. S. 793 would strengthen federal laws against finning, in which fishermen slice off sharks’ fins and toss the mutilated animals back into the ocean to die. This bill would prohibit the trade in shark fins, expanding on the Shark

SENATE SCORED ITEMS

Finning Prohibition Act of 2000 and the Shark Conservation Act of 2010 (laws that banned shark finning and the transporta-tion on U.S.-flagged vessels of fins not “nat-urally attached” to the carcass). SPONSORS: Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J.; Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va. Checkoff fundsA indicates a vote for an amendment to the farm bill (S. 3042), based on the Oppor-tunities for Fairness in Farming (OFF) Act (S. 741/H.R. 1753), to correct abuses that have undermined the USDA’s agriculture checkoff programs and to prevent checkoff dollars from being misused to lobby against animal welfare reforms and family farmer interests. This legislation would establish transparency and accountability require-ments, and it would prohibit a checkoff board and its employees and agents from engaging in any act that involves a conflict of interest, anti-competitive activity, or un-fair or deceptive practice toward other ag-ricultural products. SPONSORS: Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah; Cory Booker, D-N.J.; Maggie Hassan, D-N.H.; Rand Paul, R-Ky.; Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.

Funding letter A indicates that a member was one of 38 senators who co-signed a group letter or submitted a parallel individual request in April to the agriculture appropriations subcommittee. The letters sought fund-ing for enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) (including at USDA Agricultural

Research Service facilities conducting re-search on farm animals), Horse Protection Act (HPA), Humane Methods of Slaughter Act and federal animal fighting law, and for programs to address the needs of ani-mals in disasters and to encourage veteri-narians, through student loan repayment assistance, to locate in underserved areas. The letters also asked the subcommittee to include language directing the USDA to restore complete and searchable online ac-cess to inspection reports and other docu-ments related to the AWA and HPA, and to shelve its proposal to outsource animal welfare oversight to regulated industries. (Subcommittee and committee leaders don’t sign letters to themselves but re-ceived credit because they were responsive to these requests.)SPONSORS: Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore.; John Kennedy, R-La. LeadersA indicates that the senator earned extra credit for leading as a prime sponsor of pro-animal legislation (including items not scored on this chart) or a letter to an agen-cy. A indicates that the senator earned double extra credit for leading on multiple legislative and/or regulatory efforts or lead-ing on a top priority issue.

HOUSE SCORED ITEMS

Horse soring A indicates co-sponsorship of the Pre-vent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act (H.R. 1847) to crack down on the cruel practice of “soring,” in which trainers deliberately inflict pain on the hooves and legs of Ten-nessee walking horses and related breeds to force them to perform an unnaturally high-stepping gait for competitions. Con-gress passed the Horse Protection Act al-most 50 years ago to end this abuse, but rampant soring continues, as shown in a 2010 audit by the USDA inspector general and by HSUS undercover investigations in 2012 and 2015. The PAST Act would end the failed system of industry self-policing, ban the use of devices associated with soring, strengthen penalties and make illegal the actual soring of a horse—all without any additional taxpayer burden.SPONSORS: Reps. Ted Yoho, R-Fla.; Kurt Schrader, D-Ore.; Tom Marino, R-Pa.; Steve Cohen, D-Tenn.; Chris Collins, R-N.Y.; Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill. Pets and domestic violence A indicates co-sponsorship of the Pet and Women Safety (PAWS) Act (H.R. 909), which would expand federal domestic vio-lence protections to include pets and autho-rize grant money to help domestic violence shelters accommodate pets or arrange for pet shelter. Currently, only 3 percent of these shelters allow pets, and many people delay their decision to leave a violent situa-tion out of fear for their pets’ safety. While 32 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have adopted similar legisla-tion, the PAWS Act would ensure protec-tion across the country. SPONSORS: Reps. Katherine Clark, D-Mass.; Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla.; Jeff Denham, R-Calif.; Rick Nolan, D-Minn.; Mimi Walters, R-Calif.; Steve Cohen, D-Tenn. Animal cruelty A indicates co-sponsorship of the Pre-venting Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act (H.R. 1494) to strengthen the 2010 federal “crush video” law, which banned the creation, sale and distribution

of obscene videos that show live animals be-ing intentionally crushed, burned, drowned, suffocated, impaled or subjected to other heinous abuse. The PACT Act would prohib-it those same acts of extreme animal cru-elty when they occur in interstate or foreign commerce, regardless of whether a video is produced. This legislation would comple-ment state anti-cruelty laws and provide an additional enforcement tool when extreme animal cruelty occurs on federal property or in interstate commerce (e.g., in the puppy mill trade or wildlife trafficking).SPONSORS: Reps. Lamar Smith, R-Texas; Ted Deutch, D-Fla. Horse slaughterA indicates co-sponsorship of the Safe-guard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act (H.R. 113) to protect horses and consum-ers by prohibiting the transport and export of U.S. horses to slaughter for human con-sumption. American horses aren’t raised for food and are routinely given drugs that can be toxic to people if ingested. Horse slaughter is cruel, and the U.S. public over-whelmingly opposes it. Horses are shipped for long distances and are often seriously injured or killed in transit. At the slaughter plant, the methods used to kill horses rarely result in quick, painless deaths. This preda-tory industry doesn’t “euthanize” old, sick horses; young and healthy horses are pur-chased, often by buyers misrepresenting their intentions, and killed for the overseas horsemeat market. SPONSORS: Reps. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla.; Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill.; Ed Royce, R-Calif.; Michelle Lujan Grisham, D-N.M. Shark fin salesA indicates co-sponsorship of the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act (H.R. 1456) to protect sharks from cruelty and preserve our oceans’ fragile ecosystems. H.R. 1456 would strengthen federal laws against fin-ning, in which fishermen slice off sharks’ fins and toss the mutilated animals back into the ocean to die. This bill would prohib-it the trade in shark fins, expanding on the Shark Finning Prohibition Act of 2000 and

the Shark Conservation Act of 2010 (laws that banned shark finning and the trans-portation on U.S.-flagged vessels of fins not “naturally attached” to the carcass). SPONSORS: Reps. Ed Royce, R-Calif.; Gregorio Kilili Camacho Sablan, D-N. Marianas Animal testing for cosmetics A indicates co-sponsorship of the Hu-mane Cosmetics Act (H.R. 2790) to phase out the testing of cosmetics on live animals and the sale of animal-tested cosmetics in the U.S. These tests performed on rabbits, guinea pigs, rats and mice are intensely cruel and unreliable predictors of effects on humans. Cosmetics companies can choose from thousands of ingredients already known to be safe for humans. For new in-gredients, there are faster, less expensive non-animal methods to ensure products are safe for human use. More than 1.8 bil-lion consumers live in countries that have already adopted similar restrictions, and 250 personal care product companies sup-port this legislation. SPONSORS: Reps. Martha McSally, R-Ariz.; Don Beyer, D-Va.; Ed Royce, R-Calif.; Tony Cárdenas, D-Calif.; Frank LoBiondo, R-N.J.; Paul Tonko, D-N.Y. Puppy millsA indicates co-sponsorship of the Wel-fare of Our Friends (WOOF) Act (H.R. 4691) to address significant deficiencies in USDA oversight of commercial dog breed-ing facilities. The USDA often allows breed-ers with severe and multiple violations of the Animal Welfare Act to be licensed year after year and allows those whose licenses have been suspended or revoked to operate G

under a new license using a family mem-ber’s name. The WOOF Act would prohibit the agency from issuing licenses to breed-ers whose previous licenses have been re-voked or suspended or to their immediate family members at the same address. SPONSORS: Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa.; Charlie Crist, D-Fla. Animal fightingA indicates a vote for an amendment to the farm bill (H.R. 2), mirroring the Par-ity in Animal Cruelty Enforcement (PACE) Act (H.R. 4202). The amendment would clarify that federal prohibitions on animal fighting apply in all U.S. jurisdictions, in-cluding U.S. territories. The amendment would protect animals from vicious cruelty, protect communities from other criminal activity often linked to animal fighting, re-duce public health threats from bird flu and other diseases, and enhance enforcement of the federal animal fighting law across the U.S. (Members also received credit if they co-sponsored the PACE Act but missed the vote; however, co-sponsors who voted against the amendment didn't receive credit.)SPONSORS: Reps. Peter Roskam, R-Ill.; Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore.; Rodney Davis, R-Ill.; Rick Nolan, D-Minn.; Kevin Yoder, R-Kan.; Tony Cárdenas, D-Calif.; Steve Knight, R-Calif.; Brad Sherman, D-Calif.; Vern Buchanan, R-Fla.; John Faso, R-N.Y. Farm Bill I A indicates a vote against final passage of the House farm bill (H.R. 2) in May 2018. We note that representatives had many reasons for voting as they did on this large package, and that the bill included two pro-animal provisions—strengthening the fed-eral animal fighting law (the PACE amend-ment discussed above) and prohibiting the trade in dog and cat meat (an amendment approved in committee). But we urged a no vote because the package contained an egregious amendment that Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, offered in committee (based on his H.R. 4879), which could nullify protections on a wide range of concerns, including food safety, animal welfare and agriculture.

Farm Bill IIA indicates a vote against final passage of the House farm bill (H.R. 2) when it was brought to the floor again in June 2018. Unaltered from the May version, the bill still contained the controversial King amendment—a radical federal overreach that could undermine thousands of state and local laws, including ones addressing intensive confinement of farm animals, horse slaughter, puppy mills, shark finning and many other issues such as pesticide exposure, child labor and handling of diseased livestock. Interior appropriationsA indicates a vote against final passage of the House bill funding the Interior Depart-ment for FY19 (H.R. 6147). Although the bill contains some good news for animals—with funding and language that encourage the Environmental Protection Agency to enhance its development and implemen-tation of non-animal methods for chemi-cal safety tests and a provision reinstated from previous years to prevent the Bureau of Land Management from sending healthy horses and burros to slaughter—it also in-cludes severely harmful provisions. The bill would undermine the Endangered Species Act and remove crucial protections for some of America’s most iconic and imperiled species, including grizzly bears and gray wolves. It also takes a step in the wrong di-rection regarding the management of wild horses and burros on public lands by steer-ing funds to a sterilization program with-out any evidence that the method used can be performed humanely or will effectively

manage populations. (The agency should be using existing, federally approved fertil-ity control methods that are less invasive to manage the populations.) Funding letterA indicates that a member was one of 190 representatives who co-signed a group letter or submitted a parallel individual request in March to the agriculture appropriations subcommittee. The letters sought fund-ing for enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) (including at USDA Agricultural Research Service facilities conducting re-search on farm animals), Horse Protection Act (HPA), Humane Methods of Slaughter Act and federal animal fighting law, and for programs to address the needs of animals in disasters and to encourage veterinarians, through student loan repayment assistance, to locate in underserved areas. The letters also asked the subcommittee to include language directing the USDA to restore complete and searchable online access to inspection reports and other documents re-lated to the AWA and HPA, and to shelve its proposal to outsource animal welfare over-sight to regulated industries. (Subcommit-tee and committee leaders don’t sign letters to themselves but received credit because they were responsive to these requests.)SPONSORS: Reps. Chris Smith, R-N.J.; Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore. Congressional Animal Protection CaucusA ▲ indicates that the representative is a member of this caucus, led by Reps. Vern Bu-chanan, R-Fla., and Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., which highlights important issues affecting animals and opportunities for legislators to help advance sensible reforms. Caucus mem-bership does not affect numerical scores. LeadersA indicates that the representative earned extra credit for leading as a prime sponsor of pro-animal legislation (including items not scored on this chart) or a letter to an agency. A indicates that the representa-tive earned double extra credit for leading on multiple legislative and/or regulatory ef-forts or leading on a top priority issue. YO
