Some laws are put in place, like the animal welfare act, which brings up the care of animals used for research, but only protects 95% of them.

Although inspectors are hired by the state, there are not nearly enough to produce a good report on every animal research facility.

Even if inspectors do find something abusive, there is often nothing that they can do because it doesn't break any laws.

But what can really be done by the state?

There are many, many alternatives to animal testing that are more reliable, safe, and humane, and that could be enforced if the state were to enforce them.
