What does DACT mean in ANIMALS

The Department of Animal Care and Technologies (DACT) is a government agency responsible for the humane treatment and care of animals. It works to ensure that all animals, including laboratory animals, companion animals, horses, and wildlife, receive proper care. DACT also works with veterinary professionals to ensure the safety of animals in research facilities.

DACT is overseen by a board comprised of representatives from state agencies, local organizations dedicated to animal welfare, major universities with animal research programs, and qualified veterinarians appointed by the governor's office.

You can support DACT by donating money or volunteering your time at an animal welfare organization or state or federal agency focused on animal care and technology. You can also support research institutions involved in using animal models by signing up to participate as a volunteer in their studies or other activities supporting their work.
