Michigan lawmakers are weighing legislation that would end painful experiments on dogs at public universities, following emotional testimony from animal welfare advocates, scientists, and university officials.
House Bill 4254, known as “Queenie’s Law,” would prohibit state-funded institutions from conducting research that causes pain or distress to dogs. Supporters say the bill is long overdue and would end what they describe as decades of unnecessary suffering at Wayne State University. Opponents warn it could cripple important medical research.
Supporters Call Research “Cruel and Fruitless”…
