Update Mar. 29: Utah Gov. Gary R. Herbert has now signed H.B. 107 into law! H.B. 107 means pound seizure discretionary instead of mandatory for Utah public shelters.

That means only two states, Minnesota and Oklahoma, still require pound seizure, the practice of requiring public shelters to sell or provide animals for research.

Pound seizure laws typically require shelters or pounds to release animals to testing, research or educational facilities on demand.
