Petition: Help Ensure Federal Agencies Retire Lab Animal Survivors to Sanctuaries or Loving Homes

URGENT

Tell Congress to pass Violet’s Law

Please contact the 118th Congress immediately.

Violet’s Law just got reintroduced and we need you to urge Congress to pass it!

If it weren’t for persistent advocacy, WCW would’ve never been able to retire lab animal survivors at these federal agencies: the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the FDA.

Now we must build on this momentum to ensure ALL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES are forced to retire their lab animal survivors to the taxpayers who paid for them.

CONTACT CONGRESS >>

WCW is shutting down government animal labs in record time. In theory, it’s amazing news. But there’s a BIG problem:

What happens to the survivors on day 2?

In 2018, WCW exposed how taxpayer-funded white coats are too lazy and cheap to find lab survivors new homes.

They either:

• kill them and throw them out like trash, or
• ship them off to a new lab for more torture.

Violet’s Law would end that!

It’s great news that this historic legislation has been reintroduced in Congress, don’t you think?

Please send a pre-written email to your representative urging them to pass Violet’s Law, which would ensure all federal agencies have policies in place to retire lab animal survivors to loving homes or sanctuaries.

TAKE ACTION >>

Thanks to your Support, we’ve also retired individual animals like Delilah and Petite above.

But this simply doesn’t go far enough.

At least 16 federal agencies experiment on animals and don’t yet have policies allowing them to be retired when testing ends.

We must make lab animal adoption an option… across the entire federal government!

RETIRE LAB ANIMALS >>

These cats, dogs, monkeys, and other animals deserve better than to survive a government lab only to be killed. They deserve retirement; they deserve sanctuaries and loving homes. Not a life of abuse, then a shot of pentobarbital.

If you agree, please contact Congress immediately.

Thank you!
