Animal Welfare Act Information |
|
 |
|
For more than a quarter of a century, APHIS has enforced the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) to protect certain animals from inhumane treatment and neglect. Congress passed the AWA in 1966 and strengthened the law through amendments in 1970, 1976, 1985, and 1990. APHIS administers the AWA, its standards, and its regulations.
