Animal advocacy groups file complaints about New Mexico lab
From APNews.com, January 3, 2020
Animal advocacy groups have filed complaints with federal officials about
the treatment of monkeys and other animals at a research facility in New
Mexico.
The Ohio-based group Stop Animal Exploitation Now outlined its claims
against the Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute in a letter sent
Thursday to the U.S. Agriculture Department. The group accuses the lab of a
pattern of negligence and carelessness that resulted in the deaths of
monkeys.
The group is asking for U.S. regulators to investigate the lab and issue
penalties for what it claims are violations of federal laws meant to ensure
the humane and ethical treatment of lab animals.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent their own letter to the
National Institutes of Health on Friday. The organization is asking that
that lab’s public health service animal welfare assurance be withdrawn,
which would mean it couldn’t receive federal contracts or grants.
Both animal advocacy groups pointed to a November 2019 inspection report
that outlined inadequate veterinary care and improper animal handling.
The lab did not return a message seeking comment about the complaints.
