Unintended Consequences for Maryland Research Animals

Veterinarian Shannon Stutler explained that he opposed the Maryland Research Animal Adoption Act in the column of Baltimore Sun on 29th March.

The house act 594 of the companion animal used in the research method of 2016 is now passing through the Maryland Senate. The bill passed the conference. Dr. Stattler argued against this bill and argued it was a simple "felt" law for animal rights activists seeking to immediately stop all animal-based research. It imposes a laborious job on Maryland's research and educational institutions that have little or no impact on animal care and may lead to unintended consequences. Increase the number of animals in Maryland's evacuation centers. I adopted it. The use of animals after the test is widely accepted after the test. Many organizations have developed customized and responsible detailed adoption policies that are managed by veterinary experts who are familiar with the special considerations and needs of retired research animals. Regarding animals, Dr. Statler urged Maryland state members to dismiss this unnecessary law.

I am an excellent predecessor veterinarian and I must oppose the ongoing law through the Maryland treaty. Humanitarian adoption of companion animals used in House law 594 - 2016 research law imposes heavy work on research and educational institutions in Maryland but has little or no effect on animal care It may cause unintended consequences. : Maryland State Shelter's number of animals may enhance euthanasia rather than adoption

An animal shelter is overloaded. Animal adoption associations in Maryland and the United States are struggling to find a house for dogs and cats they are taking care of. According to the Save Maryland Pets Alliance, which includes the American athlete's action prevention association (ASPCA) and the American Road Association (HSUS), 45,000 cats and dogs die each year at a Maryland shelter and the number of taxpayers It's $ 8 million to $ 9 million. The US dollar stated that "96,000 pets entering the Maryland Animal Shelter are unlikely to survive with a 50% chance every year". Adding research animals to this group increases the number of animals that must be euthanized reliably.
