NEW POSITION PAPER

        2009 Michigan
 Proposed Legislation
             HB 4663

    The intention of this bill is to
    regulate the acquisition of
    random source dogs and cats
    for use by research facilities
    and educational institutions in
    Michigan.

    Unfortunately, the consequences
    of this legislation will be to place
    severe restrictions and financial
    stress upon  medical research
    facilities and impede the work to
    find causes and solutions for
    those abnormalities and
    diseases that result in
    discomfort, debilitating, and
    deadly conditions of humans,
    dogs, cats, and even other
    species.

    The Michigan Association for
    Pure Bred Dogs and the
    Michigan Hunting Dog
    Federation strongly support the
    welfare of dogs and share our
    home and our resources for their
    pleasures and the contributions
    they make in our lives. Their
    health is one of our prime
    concerns and we believe
    research will improve their health
    – certainly a humane objective.
