Animal rights groups ask DA to investigate UW experiments involving mice fights

Two animal rights groups are asking Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne to investigate whether UW-Madison researchers broke the law by conducting lab experiments in which mice fight. In a letter to Ozanne, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and the Madison-based Alliance for Animals allege UW-Madison scientists violated a law that says “no person may intentionally instigate” a fight between animals.
