§ 1662 Animal Research Facility Inspections

Key Takeaways

  • •The government can check places where animals are used for tests or experiments.
  • •Only government workers can do these checks, not anyone else.
  • •They do this to make sure the rules about treating animals right are followed.

Example

A scientist has a lab where they test new medicines on mice.

The government can send their own workers to visit the lab and make sure the mice are being treated okay. They can't ask someone else, like a private company, to do the check for them.
