Pound
seizure is the sale of cats and dogs from a pound or shelter to research
labs. Only two states --Minnesota and Oklahoma, still have laws requiring
that publicly funded pounds and shelters turn over unclaimed animals for
experimentation. (On 3/27/10 Utah eliminated mandatory pound seizure.)
The ultimate fate of these former companion animals is death. But before
they die, they may suffer greatly. Visit End
Pound Seizure Minnesota to sign the petition and find out more.

Petting
zoos at malls and fairs allow children to feed, ride, or have their pictures
taken with the animals. Children who visit petting zoos often bring home
much more than their parents bargained for as petting zoos are notorious
for infecting children with potentially lethal bacteria such as E.
coli and salmonella. Click here
for a fact sheet with more details on petting zoos.

Hearing
a lot about violence in schools? You can do something to help: Cut out
dissection! Every year, millions of animals are killed and shipped off
to schools, where young people are given scalpels and told to slice up
the animals bodies. What does dissection teach? Not much, except
that its OK to chop up animals.
Contact ARC for advice on how to object to dissection at
your school. Or call the toll-free Dissection
Hotline for information and support for students, parents and teachers
who object to dissection.
