The University of Wisconsin-Madison is to provide a federal animal welfare agency a report by April 1 outlining progress in 12 areas of concern in the universityâ??s massive animal research enterprise.
But while officials with the National Institutes of Healthâ??s Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare OLAW noted several issues which “need to be addressed and modified or corrected,” the tone of the report, which was obtained by The Capital Times, seemed generally positive and stated: “As discussed in our exit briefing, we found all the animals examined to be in good condition.”
Attempts to reach the authors of the OLAW report have, so far, been unsuccessful.
