rabbit, a pig, and a goat to die unnecessarily. This behavior must NOT be
tolerated and MUST be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
Animal rights watchdog files complaint against Rutgers
From Hayley Slusser, DailyTargum.com, March 3, 2020
Stop Animal Exploitation NOW! (SAEN), a watchdog group that investigates
animal abuse at research facilities, filed a complaint against Rutgers with
the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service for alleged violations of the Animal Welfare Act.
There are three separate reports from the University, according to the
complaint. In January 2019, a rabbit died after it was left in a cage while
it was being sterilized, according to the complaint. Research facilities
usually sterilize equipment at high temperatures, “meaning that this rabbit
was boiled alive,” according to the complaint.
In March 2019, a goat died after becoming immobilized in a feeder, and in
July 2019, a pig died after an unsuccessful surgery that punctured its
bowel, according to the complaint. The pig was implanted with a stent from a
different manufacturer than stated in the approved protocol.
The University can be fined up to $10,000 for each animal, according to the
complaint.
