A Mary T. Hoffman Commentary from All-Creatures.org

 

"Joyful Curmudgeon" An oxymoron?

Here is another example of a fact that probably few people are aware of:

Besides excluding birds, rats, and mice used for research, current Animal Welfare Act (AWA) regulations also exclude horses not used for research, animals farmed for food, fur, or fiber, and other farm animals.
