The US Senate recently dropped a proposed amendment from the Agriculture Appropriations Bill to restrict research institutions from purchasing laboratory animals from Class B dealers. The "Class B amendment," introduced by Sen. Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii), would have prohibited colleges, universities, and other research centers that lawfully purchase animals from Class B dealers from receiving funds from the US Department of Agriculture or the Food and Drug Administration. Institutions that purchase from Class B dealers would lose funding for all projects, even those that do not use animals.
