Sample Message:
Dear Dr. Simari, Exec Vice Chancellor, KU MED,
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.
KU Medical Center Accused of Abusing Animals

USNews.com, February 2, 2018
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — An animal rights organization is calling for
withholding of federal funds and the firing of a research administrator at
the University of Kansas Medical Group, alleging abuse of research animals.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Stop Animal Exploitation Now says
the abuse at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., included a mouse
being set on fire.
Medical Center spokeswoman Natalie Lutz says the center is committed to
ethical and responsible academic research involving animals and maintains a
stringent oversight process.
The animal rights group says that from May 2015 to March 2017, dozens of
animals died at the center. The group alleges that abuse involved rabbits,
rats, mice and a gerbil.
