What's At Stake?
Protect Pets in the Final Farm Bill!
The House and Senate unanimously approved language in both their respective versions of the Farm Bill to prohibit the use of dogs and cats obtained from random source Class B dealers (who may steal pets or fraudulently obtain them through "free to good home" ads) in experimentation. The Senate also included measures to stop the import for commercial sale of very young puppies from foreign puppy mills, and to strengthen the federal law on dogfighting, and the House included provisions to increase the maximum fines for Animal Welfare Act (AWA) violations and require USDA to resume providing annual reports to Congress on its AWA enforcement efforts.
