‘No Rescue in Bill to Save Pound Animals’

It is infuriating that the research community is so insecure that it fears even a small advance of regulation on its practices. It will concede nothing, not even when it involves a mere 1% of all research animals.

Any well informed person knows that most animals that end up in shelters are put to death. The attitude that “they are going to die anyway” is just a method of skirting the real issue, which is protection of lost and homeless animals from the horrors of research labs.
