Target: US House Speaker Mike Johnson
Goal: End the horrific experimentation on dogs and cats in U.S. laboratories, protecting them from torture and unnecessary suffering.
Every year, over 42,000 dogs, primarily beagles, are subjected to unimaginable pain and suffering in U.S. laboratories. These gentle animals are reportedly sliced open, inflicted with painful diseases, and force-fed toxic substances, all in the name of research. The atrocities do not stop there; after enduring horrific experiments, they are ultimately killed,and their organs are harvested. Cats are not spared from this cruelty either, with approximately 12,000 felines reportedly facing similar fates. It is imperative that these brutal practices come to an end.
The introduction of the Companion Animal Protection Against Cruel Testing (COMPACT) Act by U.S. Reps. Nick Langworthy and Mark Pocan represents a crucial step toward abolishing federally funded experiments on dogs and cats. This landmark legislation aims to stop all funding for such inhumane testing practices, effectively saving thousands of innocent lives. The bill not only prohibits future brutal experiments but also calls for the protection and rehoming of animals currently imprisoned in laboratories, ensuring they find safe and loving homes. Accountability measures for laboratories will also be tightened, guaranteeing transparency and compliance in the treatment of these animals.
This urgent call to action is essential to prevent further suffering and to promote humane treatment of companion animals. The demand is clear: support the COMPACT Act to end the torture inflicted on countless dogs and cats, bringing humane practices to the forefront of scientific research.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Speaker Johnson,
Every day, thousands of dogs and cats are subjected to horrific and painful experiments in laboratories across the United States. Approximately 42,000 dogs, mostly beagles, are tormented and killed for research purposes, while 12,000 cats endure the same fate. These innocent animals are reportedly cut open, fed dangerous chemicals, and ultimately murdered after suffering unspeakable cruelty. Such practices cannot continue; they demand immediate action to spare these animals from a life of torment.
With the introduction of the Companion Animal Protection Against Cruel Testing (COMPACT) Act, there is a unique opportunity to end the funding of these abhorrent experiments. This groundbreaking bill would not only stop federal funding but also protect and rehome animals currently used in testing, holding laboratories accountable for their actions. The establishment of strict compliance measures and mandatory transparency through annual reports is essential to ensure that these animals are treated with the dignity they deserve.
We urge you to advance the COMPACT Act and take immediate action to end the suffering of innocent dogs and cats in laboratories. It is time to prioritize compassion and safeguard the lives of these vulnerable animals.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
