In the News: Animal testing cruel, unnecessary practice

Sadly, the U.S. Humane Society estimates 500,000 animals suffer and die each year because of animal testing. This includes rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats and mice. Animal testing is a cruel and unnecessary practice. As our resolution notes, there are many different testing methods available to companies that do not involve hurting an animal. Right now, more than 39 countries have full or partial bans on animal testing, with a number of U.S. states recently passing their own legislation to follow suit.

Simply put, it is shameful that Cuomo continues to prioritize the rights of undocumented immigrants over law-abiding citizens. New York state took away the tools the Department of Homeland Security uses to protect our national security on the U.S. and Canadian border, and the federal government had no choice but to act. Law enforcement and law-abiding citizens deserve better from our leadership in Albany.
