Class B dealer is defined as?

Class B dealer is defined as?

• A. Field study
• B. Random source; purchase and/or resell any animals for the purpose of research
• C. Exhibitor
• D. Purpose bred

Answer: (B)

This item examines how animal dealers are categorized under the Animal Welfare Act. Class B dealers are defined as random sources from which animals are obtained for research; they purchase or resell animals that come from various sources (such as pounds, shelters, or the public) rather than breeding them specifically for sale to laboratories. This distinguishes them from purpose-bred (Class A) breeders, who raise animals specifically to supply to researchers, and from exhibitors, who primarily show animals to the public. So the best answer matches the idea of a random-source dealer who buys and/or resells animals for research.
