of one animal; and

the County Animal Shelter may elect not to allow their
animals to be used for research; and
WHEREAS, to do away with the use of animals from
the County Animal Shelter for research would have a
widespread, detrimental effect on health care delivery,
development of new drugs and cures for diseases, and would
create a devastating impact on the health of the entire
community as well as future generations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council
of the City of Anaheim that it does support the sale by the
Orange County Animal Shelter of animals for research by
institutions approved by the American Association of

conducted on an established ethical basis with appropriate
safeguards for the proper and humane handling of such animals.
