Hi all.....

   For my term paper I have to write for my Government class I chose to do it on the impact our Government has on shelters. Does anyone know where I can get good information? We were to choose a place of employment and write about the involvement of our government in it. I have googled and mostly I get individual city shelters.

Thank you for any ideas.

Allie,

both these sites are "Federal," not State or Municipal...

this is the Animal Welfare Act (USDA)

and this site has a lot of legal info....

Sounds like a great idea for a paper!  I was a poli sci grad!

are you talking about national or state gov't involvement in shelters?

can you contact individual shelters to find out about such involvement or do you need more of a general idea?
