The Animal Welfare Act: Background and Selected Legislation
Summary
In 1966, Congress passed the Laboratory Animal Welfare Act (P.L. 89-54) to prevent pets from
being stolen for sale to research laboratories, and to regulate the humane care and handling of
dogs, cats, and other laboratory animals. The law was amended in 1970 (P.L. 91-579), changing
the name to the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). The AWA is administered by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. Congress periodically has amended the
act to strengthen enforcement, expand coverage to more animals and activities, or curtail
practices viewed as cruel, among other things. A 1976 amendment added Section 26 to the AWA,
making illegal several activities that contributed to animal fighting. Farm animals are not covered
by the AWA.
In the 110th Congress, the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act of 2007 (H.R. 137; P.L.
110-22) was enacted. The bill amended Section 26 of the AWA to strengthen provisions against
animal fighting. The AWA was amended again in 2008 when provisions were included in the
2008 farm bill (P.L. 110-246). These provisions ban the importation of puppies under six months
of age for resale, tighten prohibitions on dog and other animal fighting activity, and increase
penalties for violation of the act.
