Pound Seizure is the practice of your local animal control pound or shelter releasing lost, abandoned, or surrendered companion animals to "Class B Animal Dealers" in in turn sell these animals to research labs and universities for all types of experiments some of which may be surgically invasive or painful.

There wouldnt be any animals to give for animal research if people stopped buying animals from pet shops and breeders and started adopting animals which need a home from the shelters!
For all those who say "NO" then stop wearing your makeup, perfume and deodorant..all which are tested on animals. Demands for new products make animal testing possible!

I think it would be more beneficial to make testing on animals illegal. There are companies who raise animals just to sell them to labs. To make your entire living by selling animals for research is much more disgusting. While it is unfortunate that some animal shelters have had to resort to this, it seems like a symptom of a much larger problem. And unfortunately, there isn't much legal grounds to prevent it (at least not until we can change the laws on animal testing). The animals are the property of the shelter. If you don't like this practice, I suggest using a private shelter that is no kill. Private shelters may be more expensive but it is often to offset the cost of housing unadoptable animals for their natural life. Additionally private shelters are generally more than happy to answer questions about what they do with their unadoptable pets.

caution: this isn't a computing gadget answer First, i have seen the photos and skim the thoughts about the agencies that sew open or eliminate rabbits' eyelids so the "researchers" can see how a lot hairspray a rabbit can take interior the interest earlier it is going blind. it truly is ineffective, flaky and an unforgivable element to do to an animal. i do not help utilising animals for beauty checking out in any respect. even if, i do not imagine that one and all animal checking out is undesirable. there is a large number of medical study carried out on animals which will ultimately end of as very sensible to people. even perchance existence saving. i'm not a scientist, and that i do not recognize how many of the study that starts with canines might want to be utilized to people, yet i do not imagine there should be a blanket ban on animal checking out. the #one million fool in this difficulty is the man that refuses to get an animal spayed or neutered.

Illegal? I think this is a question of immoral more so than illegal. Quite often the local animal control is the humane society, and your local human society does advertise that they do not euthanize animals. I guess this is their way of keeping with that, if they sell them to God knows who, they are not killing the animals themselves, so then they can claim they are a "no kill" shelter. Rather disgusting if you ask me. Animals are human too if you think about it. The greatness of a nation can be judged by how it treats its animals.

Yes it should be illegal. Use the people who support it for lab research, see how much they like it.
