Help Ban Pound Seizure in Michigan - and End Use of Animals from Random Sources for Research

A bill pending in the Michigan House of Representatives would ban pound seizure, the sale of dogs and cats by public shelters for use in research.

Michigan does not require pound seizure as in Utah, Minnesota and Oklahoma, but does allow public shelters to sell animals to research facilities. This bill would end that practice.
