This is not a fundraising email. It’s an important new petition to make retirement a requirement in U.S. labs for the next five years. Read below and contact Congress! If you no longer believe in ending animal testing, you can adjust your preferences.
Hi there, bumping Mackie’s email below. Why didn’t you contact Congress?
It costs you nothing but five seconds of your time to save nearly 50,000 lives per year, each year, over the next five years. That’s a lot of animals!
But there’s another reason I’m checking in. Politico just reported this:
“In the House, Ag Committee Chair…Thompson has repeatedly told reporters that he plans to spend a large part of his August recess in Washington working on the bill.”
And this:
“In the Senate, Ag Committee ranking member John Boozman (R-Ark.)…and Chair Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) are going to be ‘working hard’ through the recess.”
Taxpayer, this is all happening RIGHT NOW. I really need your help to contact Congress!
Unfortunately, we don’t have enough signatures to get Violet’s Law in the Farm Bill yet.
As the adopting dad of two cats who survived an animal testing laboratory at the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, I’d consider it a personal favor if you sent a pre-written email to your members of Congress urging them to make retirement a requirement in the new Farm Bill.
Sincerely,
Anthony

Taxpayer, if you could trade 5 seconds to retire all government lab animals for the next 5 years – would you?
- Problem: The feds are too lazy and too cheap to adopt out animal testing survivors. It’s more convenient to kill and burn them. Like garbage.
- Solution: “Violet’s Law” would fix this. Retirement would be a requirement.
- Opportunity: The Farm Bill sets U.S. policy through 2028. We’re trying to make Congress include Violet’s Law in this bill.
Extremely Urgent: Lawmakers are writing the Farm Bill right now! Unlike other legislation in Washington, this is a “must pass” bill that Congress must enact, like annual spending bills to fund operations of the government.
So Taxpayer, whatever makes it into this draft will become the law of the land for the next five years.
DEADLINE: Demand Congress put Violet’s Law into the Farm Bill. It will retire and release ALL lab survivors.
If we don’t get enough taxpayer signatures, retirement will wait until 2028. The Farm Bill doesn’t expire for another five long years.
Just imagine how many lives will be wasted, Taxpayer.
Congress still hasn't put Violet’s Law in the Farm Bill. And, according to one lawmaker quoted in Politico, the House of Representatives draft is “pretty much ready to go.”
And Congress just left for recess!

Let’s be clear about something: pets are family. Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to pay for experiments on our own family members.
Let’s be clear about something else: the government should let taxpayers welcome these survivors into our families!
Taxpayer, that’s why all eyes are on the Farm Bill. It's GROUND ZERO in the national campaign to make adoption an option.
Violet’s Law is the most important public policy of its kind. The Farm Bill is our best chance to pass it.
You see, Violet’s Law won’t just retire dogs and cats. It’s for ALL regulated animals!
And it won’t just blow the doors off one laboratory. It’s for ALL labs across the entire federal government!
After we took this campaign to Rep. Nancy Mace, she said: "It's cruel and unnecessary to euthanize dogs, cats, and other animals in federal research labs which are healthy enough to be adopted out and live happy lives."
Isn't that worth just 5 seconds, Taxpayer?

P.S. NEW PETITION TO SAVE PETS: Congress returns from recess in just a few days, and we haven’t secured enough signatures yet. Sign/share this urgent petition to retire and release lab animals in the Farm Bill!
P.P.S. Even if you already signed a Violet’s Law petition, please sign this new petition because it’s totally different. The Farm Bill is a huge opportunity that sets U.S. policy for the next five years. It’s the best chance we’re going to get until 2028. Just think how many animals we could release! Thanks. – Mack.
