Protecting Animals in Military Training Act
To prohibit the use of live animals in Department of Defense live fire trauma training.
HB6514, also known as the Protecting Animals in Military Training Act, aims to prevent the use of live animals in live fire trauma training conducted by the Department of Defense. If passed, the bill would ensure that military training does not involve the use of animals, potentially replacing them with advanced simulation technology.
This bill would affect the military training protocols and the companies or organizations that currently supply live animals for these training exercises. By prohibiting the use of animals, the bill seeks to address ethical concerns and modernize training methods.
HB6514 was introduced on December 9, 2025, and has been referred to the House Committee on Armed Services. It is currently in its early stages, and no further actions have been recorded since its introduction and referral. The bill’s progress will be monitored as it moves through the legislative process.
