U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace On Animal Testing

Marty Irby Executive Director, Animal Wellness Action

Nancy Mace leads on a range of animal protection, costly and inhumane animal testing measures in the U.S. House including passage of the FDA Act re animal testing.

“We congratulate Nancy Mace and her entire team on a decisive victory and our group plans to continue working to ensure her reelection in November’s general election,” said Marty Irby, executive director at Animal Wellness Action.

Nancy Mace works to stop needless, costly, and inhumane animal testing. She joined Reps. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., and Vern Buchanan, R-Fla. and Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky. in leading the charge to pass the FDA Modernization Act ^{{Ref #1}} that would end animal testing mandates at the FDA.

AnimalWellnessAction.org worked hard for Senate HELP in passing the “Food and Drug Legislative Package, Including Provision to Lift FDA Animal Testing Mandate.”

“I’ve never seen a more hardworking and effective first-term Member of Congress and believe her caring instincts toward animals and the people of her district, her dedication, and her unparalleled work ethic helped carry her to victory.”

Marty Irby adds that Mace is “coauthor of a measure to ban mink farming, which is an export industry with nearly all of the pelts sold to China and the number one zoonotic disease threat when it comes to spawning COVID-19 variants.”

Irby points out that the “subsidized mink industry that threatens human and wildlife health for a luxury fashion item. It is entirely an export market, with nearly all pelts sold to high-end consumers in China” and that “China’s elites get the coats and they outsource the viral risk to our homeland.”

www.TheDogPress.com thanks Irby for mentioning where the mink pelts go. Americans are becoming more aware of China’s control over so many of our political leaders.

Republican Nancy Mace also “shepherded an amendment that mirrors the stand-alone bill to passage in the House in February.” ^{{Ref #2}} And she called on the U.S. Postal service to crack down on illegal animal fighting shipments to Guam and other countries.

Irby reminds us that “Animal fighting is bound up with illegal gambling, narcotics trafficking, and human-on-humane violence. He says Nancy Mace cosponsored the Big Cat Public Safety Act, that would bar private citizens from keeping dangerous carnivores like lions and tigers in our communities. She also co-sponsored the Bear Protection Act ^{{Ref #3}} to combat poaching of bears for their gall bladders. See 2 short (under 2 minutes total) videos on Bears For Bile!

TheDogPress.com remembers that Mace also supported the Greyhound Protection Act of 2021 ^{{Ref #4}} (specifically prohibiting the use of wire communications to gamble on commercial greyhound racing or permit the transport of animals for commercial dog racing or related activities.)

Marty Irby said “U.S. Representative Mace also cosponsored two bills that would better protect our iconic American equines by outlawing horse slaughter on U.S. soil” and that Mace supported the PAST Act that would help end the soring of Tennessee Walking, Racking, and Spotted Saddle Horses.
