Stolen for Profit: How the Medical Establishment Is Funding a National Pet-Theft Conspiracy - Hardcover
Synopsis
An expose of pets stolen for experimentation in laboratories, the USDA's negligence to enforce statutes, and the fight of frontliners to combat pet thefts
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From Library Journal
A major industry exists in which pets are stolen or obtained under false pretenses and sold to research institutions. Reitman's book is based on her personal observations of dog auctions, a lengthy trial in California, and information supplied by others working to stop these practices. She provides extensive documentation of the magnitude of the problem and the failure of government agencies--both because of understaffing and unwillingness at executive levels--to enforce the animal welfare laws. However, it is unfortunate that Reitman often digresses from the main subject--pet theft--to criticize all animal research. While there are abuses, the answer is not to ban such research but to scrutinize grant proposals more carefully and rigidly enforce animal welfare laws. For popular collections.
- A. Louis Shor, DVM, Veterinary Consultant, Mt. Laurel, N.J.

From Publishers Weekly
At the outset, Reitman, a freelance journalist, makes clear that her book is not a diatribe against the use of animals in biomedical research. Rather, she attacks the illegal means by which many of the cats and dogs used in experiments are procured--the theft and misrepresentation by middlemen who sell the animals to laboratories. Often boarded in appallingly unhealthy quarters prior to their sale, the animals can fetch up to $500 apiece, despite their debilitated condition. This money is generally paid from federal grants; the Department of Agriculture has taken no action against this system. Reitman frames her powerful, unsettling expose around a 1991 California trial in which three animal suppliers drew terms of six, five and three years. Photos not seen by PW.
