The Animal Welfare Act

Written by: Chris Mitchell

The Animal Welfare Act, or AWA, was first passed in 1966. It was revised in 1970, 1976, 1985, and 1990. It was administered by the USDA and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, or APHIS, and it was made to protect commercially used animals from mistreatment. Commercially used animals include animals sold in commerce, used for exhibition purposes, and animals used in laboratories for scientific testing.

Dealers who sell animals for scientific research are also regulated by the AWA. Laboratories that use animals and dealers who supply them must keep record of the names and addresses of all their animal sources, and that discourages the dealers from stealing companion animals and then turning around and selling them to laboratories. They have to hold animals for at least five days, in order to give owners an opportunity to claim lost or stolen pets.
