Section 41-10-21 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction of article.
The Legislature hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its intent to be
as follows: In recent years changes have taken place in the economy of this state which have
had a far-reaching effect on the welfare of its citizens. The agrarian economy which once
prevailed in this state and provided the principal means of livelihood for most of the citizens
of the state has proven inadequate to provide employment for the state's growing population.
The advent of mechanized and scientific farming methods has reduced greatly the number of
persons required to obtain increased yields of agricultural products from land under cultivation.
There has been a correspondingly greater dependence upon industrial development as the bulwark
of the economy of this state. It is appropriate and necessary that measures be taken to secure
to the citizens of this state the benefits of a strengthened...

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.)...
