The plaintiffs, two animal welfare groups and two individuals, allege that the defendants, the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), the Secretary of USDA (“Secretary”), and the Administrator of the Animal Plant Health Inspection Service, have violated the mandate of the Federal Laboratory Animal Welfare Act (“FLAWA” or “Act”), 7 U.S.C. §§ 2131 et seq, by promulgating regulations which fail to include birds, rats, and mice as “animals” within the meaning of the Act. The parties have filed cross motions for summary judgment.
