from individual donors whose organizations lobby on Animals, the bill's policy area, reached the 4 members who sponsor or cosponsor it, in the 2026 cycle, more than 37% of Animals bills. From PACs whose sponsors lobby on it: $2,151, counted separately.

This is money tied to the bill's subject, not money given for or against the bill. It shows what an organization lobbies on, not what position it takes, and no gift is tied to a bill.

No roll call in the loaded votes ties to this bill. A vote whose document reference did not parse to a bill keeps its reference as filed and cannot appear here. ‡ votes, not motives

Coverage: bills are loaded for Congresses 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119.
