Prohibiting Funding for Animal Research in Adversarial Nations
This bill aims to stop the use of taxpayer money for animal research conducted in laboratories owned by countries considered adversarial to the United States. This means public funds will no longer support such activities, potentially impacting how tax dollars are spent and international relations.
Key points
The act prohibits the Department of Health and Human Services from funding animal testing in China (including Hong Kong), Iran, North Korea, and Russia.
The Secretary of Health can add other countries to this list if deemed a concern, after consulting with the Secretaries of State and Defense.
Enacting this bill means taxpayer money will not be used to support animal experimentation in the listed countries, affecting federal budget allocation and foreign policy.
