Well, this is some seriously good news.
You may be crying "They've been experimenting on kittens?!?!" and sadly, yes, they have. But the USDA has listened to people's complaints and are ending the program voluntarily.
I may share my home with a pair of puppers, but I grew up with cats and still adore them. Really, even if you're not a fan of cats, you probably don't want them hurt.
