What U.S. President Trump’s initial executive orders could mean for animals
From HumaneSociety.org:
Since U.S. President Donald Trump returned to the White House last month for a second term, his administration has been issuing dozens of executive orders, some of which can have an impact on animals.
Executive orders are presidential instructions designed to direct federal government agencies and their staff members to take (or not take) certain actions, and it is customary for presidents to issue them early in their tenure to make good on campaign promises and/or pivot to agency agendas of their own. A permissible and legal executive order needs to be rooted in one of the president’s constitutionally outlined powers or in a law approved by the Congress.
