What We Do - Sustainable Action Now

GUN SAFETY

The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) is a U.S law, passed in 2005, that protects firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable when crimes have been committed with their products.

This year, the House Judiciary Committee voted to advance Congressman Adam Schiff’s (D-Burbank) Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act, clearing the way for a vote on the House floor. Along with yesterday’s markup of the Assault Weapons Ban of 2021, this represents one of the most significant congressional acts in a decade on two of gun safety advocates’ top legislative priorities.

SAFARI

While visiting a safari tends to be more ethical than supporting zoos and circuses that over-breed and abuse wildlife for entertainment, it’s important to do your research to ensure your time and money are going to sustainable safaris. There are still many safaris out there that support hunting and abuse; however ethical safaris have the possibility of protecting wildlife and supporting local economies.

Here you’ll find everything you need to know about the disadvantages of safari parks and how to find sustainable, ethical safaris that help to preserve wildlife.

ZONE

Wild Animals Should Not Be Kept In Captivity. Many wild animals may be kept captive in private homes as pets. It’s said that Texas has the world’s second-largest tiger population, due to private citizens’ propensity for keeping these big cats as pets. There is no wild animal census in the United States, and many states have lax oversight, so any estimates about the population of wild animals in captivity is at best an educated guess.
