Congressman Cohen Earns Perfect 100 Percent on Humane World for Animals Scorecard

WASHINGTON - Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9), a longtime member of the Congressional Animal Protection Caucus, has once again received a perfect 100 percent on the Humane World Action Fund and Humane World for Animals Scorecard, previously known as the scorecard of the Humane Society Legislative Fund and the Humane Society of the United States. He has consistently received the highest score on humane treatment of animals issues dating to his time in the Tennessee State Senate. In 2022, he was named the Humane Horseman of the Year by the Humane Society for his work to prohibit the "soring" of Tennessee Walking Horses.

The scorecard reviewed each federal lawmakers' position on eight issues of concern to the animal protection community during the first session of the 119^th Congress. Congressman Cohen is the only member of the Tennessee Congressional delegation with a 100 percent score. See the scorecard here

Congressman Cohen made the following statement:

"I am pleased to receive this distinction and the recognition for my work protecting animals. The way we treat our fellow creatures is a measure of our humanity. I commend the Humane World for Animals for the work it does."
