That’s why 34 bipartisan members of Congress urged @SecKennedy to strengthen NIH policy and ensure what happened at Ridglan Farms never happens again.
Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 27(source)
Taxpayer dollars should never support facilities that abuse animals like Ridglan Farms. While we work toward stronger protections for animals used in research, NIH can act right now to stop funding facilities with serious animal welfare violations.
Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 26(source)
We urged him to update this policy to ensure that additional factors are taken into account, including the loss of a state-level license, so that what happened at Ridglan Farms can never happen anywhere else again.
Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 26(source)
The current policy only relies on whether a facility holds a USDA Class A license, meaning Ridglan Farms, a beagle breeding facility cited for hundreds of animal welfare violations and forced to surrender its state license, still qualifies to supply animals for NIH-funded research.
Rep. Mark Pocan@pocan.house.govMay 26(source)
Today, I sent a letter with Congressman Nick Langworthy, signed by 34 bipartisan members of Congress, to Secretary Kennedy urging him to strengthen NIH's policy on federal funding on acquiring animals for research facilities.

This day, and every day, we honor their memories and commit to ensuring all our veterans, servicemembers, and military families have the support and care they deserve.

This #MemorialDay, we remember the brave men and women who have given their lives in service to our country. Their courage stands as a testament to the very American values they sacrificed their lives to protect.

I hear from my constituents all the time that groceries are way too expensive. I see it too. Trump's top priority needs to be lowering costs, not building a golden ballroom.
