Oklahoma Town – Please see the next commentary from PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo in regards to the citations posted via the U.S. Division of Agriculture towards the College of Oklahoma–Norman and the College of Oklahoma Well being Sciences Middle for his or her violations of federal animal welfare laws:
Those newest “[c]ritical” federal citations towards two branches of the College of Oklahoma display that animals caged there have as a lot to worry from the incompetence and negligence of laboratory body of workers as they do from the needless experiments performed there, underlining why the college doesn’t deserve some other pink cent of taxpayer cash. PETA filed a grievance with the Nationwide Institutes of Well being, calling at the company to research and sanction the establishments.
In step with a just-posted inspection document from the U.S. Division of Agriculture, a rabbit’s leg was once so badly broken after turning into trapped in a pen throughout “workout time” that the animal needed to be euthanized and 20 chinchillas continued post-surgery ache as a result of body of workers didn’t hassle to present them ache reduction medicine—for 2 months.
The College of Oklahoma must redirect its assets towards fashionable, non-animal analysis strategies that can in fact assist people, and we urge officers there to undertake PETA’s Analysis Modernization Deal.
