Scope and Content Note<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe series contains records related to animal rights, animal welfare, and animal protection laws. The records consist of bills, memoranda, notes, news articles, reports, correspondence, and speeches.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSubjects include wildlife control, wildlife habitat, Animal Welfare Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, animal prescription labeling, Pet Protection Act, and the Legal Standing Bill which permits private entities to file law suits aimed at enforcing regulations under the Animal Welfare Act.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSubjects also include:<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnimal Biomedical Research (1998-1990), regarding the welfare and protection of research animals in biomedical laboratories. Subjects include possible alternatives to the use of these animals, and the application of existing animal welfare laws to animal biomedical research.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnimal Welfare Act (19889-1991), regarding legislation providing protection to animal research facilities from illegal acts. The bill aimed to make breaking into an animal research facility a federal crime. Subjects also include investigation of Animal Welfare Act violations, and the debate over ballistics research on animals by the Department of Defense.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nConsumer Products Safe Testing Act (1988-1990), regulating the use of data obtained through animal-testing for the purposes of evaluation of the toxicity of products by federal agencies. The bill intended to ban the use of the Lethal Dose-50 (LD-50) test which sought to ascertain the lethal dose of a product for fifty percent of the tested animal population.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSilver Spring Monkeys (1985-1990), regarding the seizure of 15 monkeys from the Institute for Behavioral Research (IBR) by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) after years of severe maltreatment.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
