Pet Safety & Protection Act Needs Our Help to Pass

[Guest guest]

ASPCA ACTION ALERT

 

Dear Animal Advocates,

 

The federal Pet Safety and Protection Act, S. 714/H.R. 1280, would prohibit

Class

B Dealers and unlicensed individuals from selling dogs and cats to research

laboratories.

 

Class B Dealers are people who collect dogs and cats from random sources and

sell them to the research industry. They sometimes obtain their animals through

illegal or unethical means, such as by responding to " free to good home " ads in

newspapers, falsifying records to keep the true origins of the animals unknown,

and stealing pets kept outside in yards.

 

The Pet Safety and Protection Act would provide a much-needed safety net to

ensure beloved pets are not stolen or acquired under false pretenses and sold to

research laboratories.

 

What You Can Do

Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to send a letter to your representative

and senators urging them to support and cosponsor The Pet Safety and Protection

Act. You may use the same link to read about this legislation in greater depth.

 

Thank you.
