The American Anti-Vivisection Society (AAVS) announced the launch of their new websited, NoPetCloning.org, dedicated to the opposition of pet cloning.

Last August, we published an article entitled, "Pet Cloning - Keep Your Pet Forever", which describes a new company offering cloning services for your cat.

"It might seem hard to believe, but private companies are trying to capitalize on the public's ever-growing bond with animals by offering to clone companion animals," said Crystal Miller-Spiegel, AAVS senior policy analyst. "However, several factors cause us grave concern, primarily the suffering endured by the animals in the cloning laboratories and how this industry will impact our nation's critical cat and dog overpopulation problem."

AAVS is a non-profit animal advocacy and educational organization dedicated to ending experiments on animals in research, testing, and education. Founded in Philadelphia in 1883, AAVS is the oldest organization in the United States dedicated to eliminating experiments on animals. AAVS pursues its objectives through legal and effective advocacy, education, and the support of the development of non-animal alternative methods.
