AROOO-ROOO-ROOO-ROOO!
(That’s Beaglese for ACTION ALERT):

     Proud as we are of our part in helping to rescue and rehome the Ridglan Beagles, we at WPMP know that our work is far from done. As long as there is a demand for animal test subjects, there will be someone supplying the animals to laboratories to run those tests.

     Working together, we MUST put an end to that demand, and the only way to do that is by ending the use of animals in outdated, cruel, and unnecessary lab tests that yield questionable results. The Center for a Humane Economy (CHE) has drafted legislation to help stop taxpayer dollars from funding these experiments nationwide, with Wisconsin legislators Tammy Baldwin and Mark Pocan taking key roles in this effort.

From the Center for a Humane Economy (CHE):

Dear Friend,

     Wisconsin has been at the center of the fight to end cruel dog and cat experimentation. Now we have an opportunity to help stop taxpayer dollars from funding these experiments nationwide.

     Congress is considering language that would prohibit the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from funding research on dogs and cats. If enacted, it would represent a major step toward ending federally funded dog and cat experimentation and accelerating the transition to modern, human-relevant research methods.

     Please take just one minute to send a message to your Senators urging them to support this proposal.

     Your voice can make a real difference. Thank you for standing with us as we work to end taxpayer-funded dog and cat experimentation.

Sincerely,
