Tell Congress: Pass Violet's Law!

The U.S. government experiments on nearly 45,000 dogs, cats, monkeys and other animals each year with our tax dollars. Virtually all are killed because government white coats can’t be bothered to adopt out the survivors after experimentation ends. This means taxpayers are footing the bill for the killing of perfectly adoptable animals.

Violet’s Law is the most important public policy of its kind. It would make retirement a requirement across the entire federal government! Act now to pass Violet’s Law!

As a {user_data~State} taxpayer and your constituent, I am urging you to cosponsor Violet's Law to make adoption an option in federal government laboratories.

I was troubled to learn from the White Coat Waste Project that over 45,000 dogs, cats, and other regulated animals are experimented on in federal government laboratories. Virtually all are killed because agencies do not have policies to let taxpaying families adopt survivors after testing ends. As a result, even healthy animals used in non-invasive experiments are killed and discarded in federal government laboratories. This is wasteful and wrong.

Retiring lab animals saves tax dollars and is widely supported by Congress, industry, and taxpayers in both parties. Fifteen states (MN, CA, NV, NY, CT, DE, IL, MD, RI, NJ, OR, WA, VI, IA, and MA) have also passed post research adoption laws.

Violet's Law is named after a Coonhound who survived a taxpayer-funded lab. This common sense, bipartisan bill would require federal agencies to enact policies to facilitate the relocation of retired dogs, cats, primates, and other regulated animals no longer needed in government experimentation to private homes, animal rescues, or reputable sanctuaries. In addition, it holds the government accountable for how it treats animals purchased with the public's money.

Taxpayers pay for government animal experiments. Adoption should be an option. Thank you for your leadership!

Thank you,
