Section 13A-11-150 Legislative findings and determinations. The Legislature has found and determined
that there has been an increasing number of illegal acts committed against animal research
and production facilities involving injury to humans or animals, criminal trespass, and damage
to property. These acts not only abridge the property rights of the owner of the facility,
they also damage the public interest by jeopardizing crucial scientific, biomedical, or agricultural
research or production. These actions can also threaten the public safety by exposing communities
to serious public health concerns and may substantially disrupt or damage research. Therefore,
it is in the interest of the people of the State of Alabama to protect the welfare of humans
and animals as well as productive use of public funds to prohibit unauthorized possession,
alteration, or destruction of agricultural, educational, or research records, equipment, and
animals. (Acts 1993, No. 93-327, §1.)...
