<a href="http://community.aavs.org/site/R?i=0q_-uSB_Xl4lm0R8YStWvg..">Cruella</a>, a shepherd chow mix who wore a purple collar, was found lost in a small town in Michigan. She may have thought that she was being rescued when workers from the county pound picked her up. <br /><b><br /><br />Instead it was the start of a year-long nightmare. </b><br /><br /><br /><b>She was handed over to an animal dealer who later sold her to a university for use in painful veterinary medical training exercises.</b> <b>Cruella was the victim of a practice called pound seizure, the sale of cats and dogs from a shelter to a research or education facility,</b> oftentimes through random-source animal brokers called Class B dealers. <br /><br /><br /><b>While it may be difficult to imagine animals who once lived in loving homes being confined within a laboratory cage, it is the harsh reality for thousands of cats and dogs, like Cruella, every year.</b><b><br /><br /><br />Founded in 1883, the American Anti-Vivisection Society is the first non-profit animal advocacy and educational organization in the United States dedicated to ending experimentation on animals in research, testing, and education.<br /><br /><br />Join our efforts to end experimentation on animals:<br /><br /></b><br /><b><a href="http://community.aavs.org/site/R?i=aVKtSH6k6JO05qlH_Tbn5g..">1st PETITION: Ask your legislators to support a legislation to outlaw Class B dealers</a><br /></b> <br /><b><a href="http://community.aavs.org/site/R?i=9YPJ3Ah0kaccMsHxX5HSVQ..">2nd PETITION: Support the Great Ape Protection Act.</a></b> <br /> <br /><b><a href="http://community.aavs.org/site/R?i=1pzMgJCO4guoodBe4Rk1AA..">3rd PETITION: Ask Clinique to Join the Leaping Bunny Program.</a></b> <br /> <br /><b><a href="http://community.aavs.org/site/R?i=KEGycwCahLc_NFCPNwkXLg..">4th PETITION: Pledge to shop cruelty free!</a></b><br /><br /><br /><b>P.S.
