A bipartisan measure targeting maximum pain tests on cats and dogs was introduced on Thursday, the latest in a string of efforts to curb tax dollar support for animal testing.

While the “PAAW Act” has a cute-sounding name, it would have a very serious effect, according to the sponsors, Reps. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL). It would end most federal funding of tests on cats and dogs, according to a synopsis provided to Secrets.
