Lost pets protected in a proposed ban Lost pets protected in a proposed ban 5/15/07 Quote: It's the nightmare of pet lovers everywhere: Their beloved Fido or Whiskers gets lost, is scooped up by animal thieves, then is sold to be dissected in a university research lab. The Humane Society estimates that every year, middlemen known as "Class B" animal dealers round up about 18,000 dogs and cats through flea markets and free-to-good-home ads and sell them to laboratories and university research labs. In the process, it says lost pets are rounded up, too. Now that Congress has undergone a change in leadership, the animal advocacy group hopes lawmakers will make it illegal for "Class B" dealers to sell "random source" cats and dogs to research labs. The proposed ban is dubbed "Buck's Bill" in honor of Buck, a black hound dog seized in 2003 in Oklahoma from a dealer. Buck, who had heartworm disease and other ailments, died of internal hemorrhaging months after his rescue while in foster care. article continues __________________ The Truckers Report Merchandise

The article does mention that about 10% come from "shelters". In Michigan, I believe that this figure is MUCH higher. There are several counties' animal shelters that REFUSE to release pets to reputable rescues, and most of the unclaimed dogs are "traded" to Class B Brokers in exchange for the Broker removing the carcases of euthanized pets. Funny, it is ONLY the friendly dogs that end up in Research Labs. Some people I know are considering organizing a Petition Drive to place a BAN on Class B Brokers on the Michigan Ballot. __________________ "It could probably be shown thru facts and figures that there is no distinctive native American criminal class...except Congress" ټڀڟMark Twainټڀڟ Last edited by roadkill439342; 06.24.2007 at 08.15 AM.

I wonder how many puppy mill breeders sell directly to research labs? For those people it's all about profits.
