Michigan SB1166 mandates guidelines for research facilities to follow before euthanizing former laboratory animals.
Michigan SB1166 establishes guidelines for research facilities handling former laboratory animals. Before euthanizing such animals, facilities must first offer them to their employees or for adoption. If an employee declines, the animal must be offered to an animal protection shelter. Shelters can designate a veterinarian to review the animal's suitability for adoption. If both the research facility's and the shelter's veterinarians determine the animal is not suitable for adoption, the animal must be euthanized.
