Rep. Nancy Mace(@RepNancyMace):Lab animals deserve a second chance at life. Not a death sentence. Our Violet's Law amendment included in the House-passed Farm Bill requires federal agencies to prioritize adoption over euthanasia for lab animals no longer needed for research. These labs are putting down dogs, cats, hamsters, and rabbits on the taxpayer's dime. Simply because no one made finding them a home a priority or a requirement. Our amendment says no more. A healthy animal should never be euthanized when a loving home is waiting. Never.
