Animal Welfare Act of 1966

The animal welfare act is like a big rule book that tells people how they need to take care of animals. It was made in 1966 because some people were not taking care of animals very well and it made a lot of people feel sad. The rule book says that animals need things like food, water, and a safe place to live. It also says that animals should be able to move around and stretch their legs. The rule book also talks about how animals should be treated if they get sick or hurt. The people who take care of the animals must follow the rules in this book or they can get in trouble with the law. This way, we can try to make sure all animals are taken care of and happy.
