About Animal Care:

 

Animal Care is responsible for enforcing the Animal Welfare Act and the Horse Protection Act. The Animal Welfare Act requires that established standards of humane care and treatment be provided for warm-blooded animals bred for commercial sale, used in research, transported commercially or exhibited to the public. The Horse Protection Act seeks to put an end to soring – a procedure in which horses are subjected to chemical and/or mechanical irritants in order to enhance their gate – by preventing sored horses from participating in exhibitions/shows/sales/auctions. Animal Care also has an emergency response component, through which it provides national leadership on the safety and well-being of pets during disasters.
