437.415 Findings of the General Assembly.
The General Assembly finds that the caring, rearing, feeding, breeding, and sale of
animals and animal products, and the use of animals in research, testing, and education,
represents vital segments of the economy of the state, that producers and others involved
in the production and sale of animals and animal products and the use of animals in
research and education have a vested interest in protecting the health and welfare of
animals and the physical and intellectual property rights which they have in animals, and
that there has been an increasing number of illegal acts committed against farm animal
and research facilities. The General Assembly further finds that these illegal acts threaten
the production of agricultural products, and jeopardize crucial scientific, biomedical, or
agricultural research, and finally, the General Assembly finds that these illegal acts
threaten the public safety by exposing communities to contagious diseases and damage
research.
