Review law around treatment of animals in labs
We urge the government to review law around treatment for animals in labs. Animals deserve better lives before death. End cruel practices, allow testing only when life-saving, and rehome animals instead of killing them after use.

Background
Animals are sentient and feel pain. Enforcing humane treatment, limiting testing to life-saving situations, and rehoming animals could reduce unnecessary suffering. If we harm pets or wildlife, it’s a crime—farm and lab animals deserve the same protection, making our nation more compassionate and ethical.
