Raise Your Voice for Vulnerable Animals Today.

Friend,

Right now, hundreds of thousands of animals are suffering in laboratories all across the United States—from monkeys used in invasive biomedical research to rabbits used in product testing. They’re forced to live their lives trapped in a cage, terrified and often in pain or distress.

Despite being in facilities regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which is charged with enforcing the basic standards of care set by the Animal Welfare Act, many laboratories continually fail to meet these standards, and yet they encounter few if any consequences. The pain and suffering the animals in these laboratories are subjected to is incredibly cruel and unnecessary, and we must act now to better protect them.

Friend: Will you join me in urging Congress to support the Better CARE for Animals Act, which will help to strengthen enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act? Your voice can help put an end to animal suffering before it’s too late.

The Animal Welfare Act requires requires that research and testing facilities and breeders meet basic standards of animal care, but because of weak enforcement, many facilities that repeatedly violate this law continue to operate without penalty. Take for instance Envigo, which ran a facility in Virginia that bred dogs to sell to laboratories that significantly violated the Animal Welfare Act multiple times over the years without consequence. Finally, the facility was shut down, but not before government inspectors found that beagles were being killed instead of receiving veterinary care for easily treatable conditions; nursing mothers were being denied food; dogs were being forced to eat food that contained maggots, mold and feces; and over an eight-week period, 25 beagle puppies died from cold exposure.

While the Animal Welfare Act is absolutely critical for protecting over a million animals from inhumane treatment, it’s only as effective as its enforcement. That’s why the Better CARE for Animals Act is so important. 

The Better CARE for Animals Act would provide tools for better multi-agency collaboration to strengthen enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act, agencies to step in more quickly to end animal abuse and suffering and save the lives of innocent animals before it’s too late.

Friend, we must act now. So please, can I count on you to take action? Tell Congress to support the Better CARE for Animals Act now.
