Watchdog Organization Files Federal Complaint Against University of Wisconsin

Madison, WI (PRWEB) June 28, 2007 -- A national research watchdog organization has filed an Official Complaint (USDA 07/207) against the University of Wisconsin, Madison based on recently obtained internal UW records.

UW reports reveal alleged abuses in which primates are allegedly dying with brain infections sufficient to have liquefied the cerebrum. One primate allegedly died with a foreign object lodged in the intestinal tract, while another was allegedly killed during preparation for surgery when an endotracheal tube tore the monkey's throat, according to internal lab reports obtained by SAEN.

"UW documents reveal a stunning pattern of possible negligence, inadequate veterinary care, unqualified staff and deceit," said Michael A. Budkie, A.H.T., Executive Director, SAEN. "These documents clearly demonstrate that the University of Wisconsin, Madison is continuing a long-term pattern of flaunting federal regulations which are clearly spelled out in the Animal Welfare Act (AWA)."

Other primates at the UW allegedly died with severe cases of pneumonia, as well as full-thickness ulcerations of the skin. In many instances these conditions were allegedly the result of devices implanted into the spinal chords of the deceased monkeys. Other monkeys died with meningitis which resulted from 'headcaps' which had been attached to the skull, Budkie says.

"The practice of experimenting and performing surgical procedures upon chronically ill monkeys is not only extremely cruel to the animals, but also very bad science," added Budkie. "The UW is wasting tens of millions of U.S. tax dollars by experimenting on sick animals."

The SAEN complaint, addressed to Dr. Elizabeth Goldentyer of the US Department of Agriculture on June 25, 2007, asks that the USDA "immediately implement proceedings to investigate the University of Wisconsin for potential violations of the AWA."

Federal legislation has recently been introduced which would increase potential penalties for violations such as those at the UW. HR 2193, the Animal Protection Accountability Improvement Act, would quadruple the potential fine for Animal Welfare Act (AWA) violations from $2500 to $10,000.

The complaint, USDA response (07/207), and UW primate records are available upon request from SAEN.
