Judie Mancuso worked for decades in animal rescue before Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. Volunteering in New Orleans, tending to all the dogs and cats left to fend for themselves, she couldn't stop thinking about her home state of California. Shelters were already euthanizing half a million animals every year due to overcrowding. How many would die if a natural disaster struck?

Judie returned home and founded Social Compassion in Legislation (SCIL), a nonprofit focused specifically on passing laws to save animals.

In Because They Need Us, Judie recounts how she learned to go up against weak-willed politicians, rich corporations, and special interests to protect domestic animals and wildlife. Her group's landmark successes include California's first-in-the-nation ban on sales of mill-bred animals in pet stores, and laws prohibiting sales of animal-tested cosmetics and products made from the skins of hippos and other species.

This deep dive into the workings of political power is a must-read for animal lovers, policy advocates, and anyone who needs proof that commitment and compassion can win the day.

Mancuso, Judie: - Judie Mancuso is the founder, CEO, and president of Social Compassion in Legislation, the only animal rights nonprofit in California working to save and protect animals through public policy. Landmark laws sponsored by her group have been copied in many other states and inspired at least one other major country to change its animal testing requirements. Judie became a full-time advocate for animals in 2007 after a twenty-year career in information technology. She served on the California Veterinary Medical Board from 2010 to 2018 and on the Environmental Sustainability Committee of her hometown, Laguna Beach, from 2019 to 2024. Judie shares her home with her two dogs and four cats--all rescues, of course.
