OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Dogs and cats that have been used for laboratory testing at public universities and other research facilities would have to be offered for adoption before being euthanized under a measure being considered by a state Senate committee.
The Spokesman-Review reports that the bill had strong support in a hearing this week, with no one testifying against it.
The University of Washington and Washington State University, which use hundreds of animals in medical and veterinary research every year, support the bill.
