The Safeguard Pets, Animals, and Research Ethics Act, known as the SPARE Act, aims to eliminate the use of animals in federally funded research, promoting humane and scientifically advanced alternatives. It seeks to ensure that retired research animals are ethically rehomed, marking a significant shift in how animal testing is approached in the United States. The Act imposes a comprehensive ban on federally funded research involving animals, with exceptions for specific veterinary and military studies.
