Malliotakis Introduces Legislation to End Federal Animal Testing
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY-11) and Rep. Aaron Bean (FL-04) introduced the Safeguard Pets, Animals, and Research Ethics (SPARE) Act, legislation designed to end federal animal testing, redirect funding toward humane research alternatives, and ensure the adoption or sanctuary placement of animals previously used in experiments.
Specifically, this legislation would ban animal testing in federal labs, establish a three-year phase-out, rehabilitate and re-home former lab animals, saving taxpayer dollars while enhancing research outcomes, and ensuring accountability and transparency. American taxpayers spend an estimated $20 billion funding experiments here in the US.
The legislation prohibits biomedical, cosmetic, toxicity, and psychological testing on animals in federally funded labs and institutions, ending taxpayer-funded animal experiments across agencies such as the National Institutes of Health, the U.S Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. To support this transition, it provides funding for research institutions to develop and implement non-animal alternatives such as organ-on-chip technology, human-cell-based models, and AI-driven computational research.
