Ban on Funding Painful Animal Research in Higher Education
This new act aims to stop federal funding for higher education institutions that conduct painful research on dogs and cats. This means taxpayer money will no longer support such practices, potentially influencing the ethics of scientific research nationwide. Exceptions include veterinary research for the animal's benefit and studies involving service or military animals.
Key points
Higher education institutions will lose access to federal funds if they conduct painful experiments on dogs or cats.
The changes will take effect 180 days after the act's enactment, allowing time for adaptation to the new rules.
Exceptions to the ban include clinical research for the benefit of a sick animal, and studies related to service and military animals.
