5/1/09: Profit From Misery - Dogs/Cats Sold To Research

Every year, hundreds of animals in shelters become victims of pound seizure, as they are purchased by class B dealers who then sell them at an enormous profit to research and education facilities, where they are used in invasive and painful experimental procedures...

mail. ===========================================================Dear Representative and Senators:Congress can help save thousands of companion animals like Bo Obama (or like your own furry family members) by proposing legislation that outlaws the sale of random source animals to biomedical research, product testing and education. Your swift action can spare cats and dogs from invasive surgeries, toxic dosing, pain, loneliness and death inside a laboratory.Controversial class B dealers buy animals from shelters (pound seizure), free-to-good-home ads, and other "random sources" for lucrative sale to research facilities. Some employ "bunchers" to steal dogs from yards and cars. Any shelter that engages in pound seizure with a Class B dealer has forsaken its role as a refuge for lost or surrendered animals.I respectfully ask you to introduce legislation that ends

the sale and shipment of "pets" to research centers nationwide. In a recent study from AnimaLearn, a nonprofit working with teachers and students to achieve quality humane science education, 52% of reviewed universities utilize dogs and cats in life science, veterinary, and medical instruction.This is astonishingly irresponsible, given strides in in-vitro cell technology, computer automation, and innovations such as the simulated immune system Modular Immune In Vitro Construct (MIMIC). Old-fashioned animal research keeps the U.S. out of sync with global progress.Researchers at Brown University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and elsewhere have begun to replace animals with complex microtissues made from cultured cells. Brown's Jeffrey R. Morgan, medical science and engineering professor, led a team that layered cells 3-dimensionally to copy live human organs. This human-centric model not

only yields data more relevant to people, but also cuts costs to confine, feed, dissect and discard animals.Random source Class B dealers are notoriously inhumane, yet our laws let them profit from the misery of gentle animals. Congress not only has the power to shut them down, but to also restrict the publicly despised practice of pound seizure. I strongly urge you to advocate legislation that protects companion animals by banning class B dealers and pound seizure.Thank you,===========================================================SOURCE OF INFORMATION / REFERENCE LINKS===========================================================Dying To Learn: Supply Line of Dogs and Cats in Higher Educationhttp://www.dyingtolearn.org/ The American Anti-Vivisection Society aavs@ aavs.orgVictim of Pound Seizure: Meet Cruella (E6993)http://www.dyingtolearn.org/cruella.htmlPlease Help Kinship Circle Continue To Exist* DONATE SECURELY ONLINE: http://www.kinshipcircle.org/donation * DONATE BY CHECK OR MONEY ORDER: Kinship Circle / 7380 Kingsbury Blvd. / St. Louis, MO 63130ACTION CAMPAIGNS • EDUCATION • ANIMAL DISASTER AID
