| So who are Class B dog and cat
dealers? ( Misery brokers)They're brokers who acquire animals from a
variety of sources—including "pounds," flea markets, and newspaper
ads—and then sell them to research institutions or veterinary
schools. Class B dealers are regulated under the Animal Welfare Act
(AWA), which mandates minimum care and handling standards for
animals in a variety of environments. But these dealers, putting
profits before pooches, are regularly cited for violating the AWA
and have long been a cause for concern for many.
Are they your
concern?
