Wayne Pacelle Biography

Wayne Pacelle is one of the most popular and richest Author who was born on August 4, 1965 in New Haven, Connecticut, United States.

Pacelle was born in New Haven, Connecticut, of Greek and Italian descent. His parents are Richard L. Pacelle Sr., and Patricia Pacelle. Pacelle is the youngest of four children. His older brother, Richard L. Pacelle Jr., is a political science professor at The University of Tennessee. Growing up in New Haven, Pacelle enjoyed reading natural history as a child and developed an early concern about mistreatment of animals. He attended Notre Dame High School and graduated with degrees in history and environmental studies from Yale University, where William Cronon served as his adviser. Pacelle’s environmental studies sensitized him to the fact that “a destructive attitude toward animals in the natural world, along with innovations in technology, could produce colossal damage to animals and ecosystems”. His activism led to his appointment in 1989, at age 23, as Executive Director of The Fund for Animals, the organization founded by Cleveland Amory.

Since he joined the HSUS in 1994, Pacelle has played a role in the passage of more than 25 federal statutes and amendments designed to protect animals, including laws to increase penalties for harming law enforcement animals, protect great apes in their native habitats (2000), halt interstate transport of fighting animals (2002), halt commerce in big cats for the pet trade (2003), require government agencies to include pets in disaster planning (2006), make interstate transport of fighting animals a felony (2007), ban the import of puppy mill dogs from abroad (2008), mandate accurate labeling of fur garments (2010), outlaw cruel “animal crush” videos (2010), elevate protection for sharks from the practice of finning (2011), make it a spectator to be at an animal fight (2013), ban the sale of dog and cat meat in the U.S. (2018), pass a national ban on animal fighting (2019), and establish a federal anti- cruelty statute (2019). Pacelle has testified before U.S. House and Senate committees on a wide variety of animal protection issues, including farm animal welfare, “canned hunting”, the treatment of downer cows, funding for the Animal Welfare Act and other programs, trophy hunting of threatened and endangered species, cockfighting and dogfighting, puppy mills, the exotic pet trade, bear baiting, and chronic wasting disease. The animal protection organizations he’s led have helped pass more than 1000 state statutes during his tenure as a leader.
