Last week, more than two dozen bipartisan lawmakers launched a first-ever effort urging all federal agencies to retire dogs, cats and primates at the end of wasteful and cruel government experiments. Congress members on both sides of the aisles took to social media to express their support for the campaign:

As it stands, helpless dogs, cats, and primates that are subjected to cruel government experiments spend their lives in a lab. I’m proud to lead a bipartisan push to get these animals into loving homes and sanctuaries after experimentation is done. https://t.co/pMt2IaxtiF

I have long pushed for an end to cruel #animaltesting by our government. Last week, I signed a bipartisan letter to a group of federal agencies to ask what policies they have in place around animal adoption when experiments are over.https://t.co/zWIy8OL2fH

In a bipartisan effort, I am working with my colleagues to save cats, dogs & monkeys that suffer from cruel experiments in government labs. Scientists and animal welfare advocates agree that these animals deserve a second chance. https://t.co/wUQGPur8lW

I’m working with colleagues from both parties on a new effort to save cats, dogs and monkeys that survive experiments in government labs. Scientists and animal welfare advocates agree that these animals deserve a second chance. https://t.co/iowl9Qq0wK
