Include Birds, Rats, and Mice in the Animal Welfare Act!
- Target: Nancy Pelosi, Senator, U.S. Senate
- Sponsored by: Phoebe Salmons
This is to go out to the U.S. Representative for California, Nancy Pelosi (D), in hopes that it will urge her to do something about the bill in which rats, birds, and mice (%95 of the animals subject to testing and vivisection) are excluded from the Animal Welfare Act.
Jesse Alexander Helms, Jr. (born October 18, 1921) is a former five-term Republican U.S. Senator from North Carolina and a former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He is widely considered one of the leading figures of the modern "Christian right.".
Sen. Jesse Helms has succeeded in denying protection to animals in laboratories. He added an amendment to the Farm Bill (H.R. 2646) to permanently exclude rats, mice, and birds from the protection of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), which means that the research industry is able to continue to subject them to appalling procedures and conditions that would be illegal for any other warm-blooded animals.
Let's please urge senators from every state to include rats, mice, and birds in the Animal Welfare Act! Sen. Jesse Helms excluded %95 of the animals used for vivisection and animal testing from the protection of the AWA, and I say it is time to put a stop to that! Please, sign this petition and help the lives of rats, mice, and birds.
