Congressional Animal Protection Caucus
Mission
The Congressional Animal Protection Caucus (CAPC) is a bipartisan group of lawmakers committed to raising awareness of animal welfare issues in Congress. CAPC was formed in February 2009 and replaced the Friends of Animals Caucus founded by former Representatives Tom Lantos (D-CA) and Chris Shays (R-CT).
About the Congressional Animal Protection Caucus
The purpose of CAPC is to highlight important issues affecting animals and to educate Members and their staff on the need for sensible animal protection legislation. Partnering with reputable animal welfare organizations, CAPC sponsors non-partisan briefings and tracks the progress of relevant legislation, providing Caucus members with dependable information on animal welfare issues. The goal of CAPC is to build broad coalitions in support of common-sense, humane animal welfare laws.
Congressman Quigley co-chairs the CAPC along with Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Congresswoman Sharice Davids (D-KS), Congressman Vern Buchanan (R-FL), Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD), and Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY).
