SAMPLE MESSAGE:
Please permanently ban all staff connected to Protocol “2015-2248” from ever working with animals again. The negligence necessary to set a mouse on fire, cause another to die of "massive hemorrhage," while a third never recovered from surgery is unconscionable. This gross negligence MUST NOT be tolerated and should be punished.
KUMC denies accusations of abusing, killing animals and cover-ups

WIBW.com, February 1, 2018
An Ohio-based anti-animal experimentation group is accusing the
University of Kansas Medical Center of killing dozens of research animals
and engaging in a massive cover-up to hide violations from federal
regulators.
The audit by Stop Animal Exploitation NOW! (SAEN) alleges staff at the
medical research facility reported 23 incidents between May 2015 and March
2017 that ran afoul of federal regulations. They say the incidents of abused
animals included rabbits, rats, mice, and a gerbil. SAEN says dozens of
those animals died in the experiments, including a mouse that was set on
fire.
SAEN claims KUMC has only passed along four of those reports to federal
regulators, as is required by law.
KUMC spokesperson Natalie Lutz told 13 NEWS the Kansas City-based campus
"maintains a stringent oversight process that includes notifying animal
welfare governing bodies of specific incidents regarding the use of animals
in research."
"KU Medical Center is in regular contact with these oversight entities, and
remains committed to the conduct of animal research in an ethical and
responsible manner,” she continued.
