The subcommittee will come to order. This morning we are conducting an oversight hearing jointly with the Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry which will focus on animal facility protection. The apparent increase in vandalism, theft, and trespass of re- search facilities using animal models has drawn the attention of both Congress and the public. At the end of the first session of the 101st Congress the Senate passed by unanimous consent “The Animal Research Facilities Protection Act of 1989”. There are simi- larly several pieces of legislation related to this issue before my subcommittee. It is my belief, however, that to develop and enact effective legis- lation there must be a thorough understanding of the statutes as they presently exist, as well as the mechanisms which provide for their enforcement. ( 1 ) 2 It is the intent today to question expert witnesses involved in re- search facility protection and law enforcement on the most effec- tive course of action in dealing with this emerging problem. Research is the backbone

BEYOND RIGHTS AND WELFARE: DEMOCRACY, DIALOGUE, AND THE ANIMAL WELFARE ACT Jessica Eisen* ABSTRACT The primary frameworks through which scholars have conceptualized legal pro- tections for animals—animal “rights” and animal “welfare”—do not account for socio-legal transformation or democratic dialogue as central dynamics of animal law. The animal “rights” approach focuses on the need for limits or boundaries preventing animal use, while the animal “welfare” approach advocates balancing harm to animals against human benefits from animal use. Both approaches rely on abstract accounts of the characteristics animals are thought to share with humans and the legal protections they are owed as a result of those traits.

  • Ag Gag Past, Present, and Future
    Ag Gag Past, Present, and Future Justin F. Marceau* While the animal rights and food justice movements are relatively young, their political unpopularity has generated a steady onslaught of legislation designed to curtail their effectiveness. At each stage of their nascent development, these movements have confronted a new wave of criminal or civil sanctions carefully tailored to combat the previous suc- cesses the movements had achieved. Among the first wave of animal rights activists were those who would seek to liberate animals from harsh or inhumane treatment through criminal trespass and property crimes. Whatever one might think about the wisdom or propriety of the tactics of this first generation of activists, it is beyond dispute that those opposed to the animal activists were not satisfied with the existing criminal sanctions for crimes like trespass and theft. Instead, this band of daring scofflaws were labeled terrorists by federal legislation and now face some of the harshest sentences available in the criminal code. In recent years, most food and animal rights activists have aban- doned direct action campaigns, perhaps in part because of the increased penalties that such crimes carry, and the well documented efforts (and abuses) on the part of the FBI to infiltrate animal rights groups and arrest persons involved in direct action.1 In this new era, words, rather than deeds, have become the primary form of advocacy for persons seeking to expose food justice and animal welfare issues.

  • Animal Rights and Wrongs: an Ethical View of Animal Experimentation from Graham Mitchell
    INSTITUTE FOR SCIENTIFIC lWFORMATION@ 3501 MARKET ST PHILADELPHIA PA 19104 Animal Rights and Wrongs: An Ethical View of Animal Experimentation from Graham Mitchell Number 15 ADrii 9, 199( The use of animals in research continues to be a divisive issue for the animal-rights movement and the biomedical community. Animal-rights activists are adept at working with the media and in politics to advance their viewpoint. Although researchers have begun to explain their position, there remains a strong nt%d to publicize the human benefit derived from animal experimentation. The primary need, however, is for more open communication between both sides of the debate. In an article reprinted from the Sourh Ajican Journal oj Science, Graham Mitchell, professor of physiology, University of Witwatersrand Medical School, Johannesburg, SoUtb Africa, presents a balanced view of the ethicaf aspects of this complex issue.

  • The Silver Spring Monkeys*
    The Silver Spring Monkeys* ALEX PACHECO & ANNA FRANCIONE I discovered animal rights in 1978, when I first entered a slaughterhouse and witnessed the violent deaths of terrified dairy cows, pigs and chickens. What I saw changed my life. Shaken by the slaughtering, I sought and joined the animal protection community. As a newcomer to the movement, anxious to learn what others could teach me, I could not have been more fortunate than to find two brilliant activists, Nellie Shriver, founder of American Vegetarians, and Constantine Salamone, an artist, feminist and animal rights activist. They became my teachers. Over the next few years my animal-related experiences increased as I joined the Hunt Saboteurs' outings in Britain, sailed on the Sea Shepherd in the Atlantic, studied endangered humpback whales in Alaska aboard the RV Jingur and learned all I could about mankind's exploitation of other species. Upon moving to Washington, DC in 1980, I joined forces with Ingrid Newkirk who had accomplished major victories for animals in her eleven years as an animal law-enforcement officer. By the spring of that year we had formed People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), both believing that this young movement needed a grassroots group in the USA that could spur people to use their time and talents to help animals gain liberation. Our emphasis was to be on animals used in experimentation and food production, while at the same time being out on the streets, bringing as many animal issues to the public's attention as we could. In the summer of 1981, after my third year as a political science and environmental studies major at George Washington University, I discussed with Ingrid the need to gain some first-hand experience in a laboratory.

  • 120 Defense of Animal Experimentation.Pptx
    Animal Experimentation Animal Experimentation Humans and animals have a long history together Animal Experimentation Humans have learned to raise animals for clothing, food, transportation, companionship. Develop strong interactions and lasting bonds for their mutual benefit. Close ties cause mixed feelings about the use of animals in biomedical research -- even among scientists. Ideal World- never have to use animals or people as research subjects -- Now its not an ideal world and there are difficult ethical and moral questions that arise. Animal Experimentation How many of you have pets at home? Animal Experimentation Public opinion - majority approve of animals in biomedical research that does not cause pain and leads to new treatments Animal Experimentation Animal Experimentation Animal Experimentation Some people believe that experiments should be done on humans rather than on animals. Human experimentation does occur -- clinical trials -- usually only after extensive animal testing will ensure that harmful drugs are not given to humans. Most people believe it is wrong to use humans for basic research. Animal Experimentation Sometimes scientists can use computer models and non-animal methods (like tissue cultures) -- Interactions between molecules, cells, tissues, organs, organisms, and environment can be too complex for computer to model. Many r assert that is is impossible at present to advance biomedical science without using animal subjects in some aspects of research. Animal Experimentation Do the benefits out weight the costs? Do the ends justify the means? Animal Experimentation Disease causes human suffering and death in both people and animals. Certainly a major goal of human society is to eliminate suffering caused by disease.
