An animal rights group says leaked government reports detail experimental procedures on animals, at UW-Madison.
Michael Budkie with Stop Animal Explotation Now (SAEN) says documentation details primates being confined in restraint chairs, paralytic agents being used in cats, and both primates and cats being deprived of water. Budkie says such practices are not illegal, but are sanctioned by the federal government, and he claims the UW could halt animal experimentation, if it wished.
UW’s Dr. Eric Sandgren says that assertion is unrealistic.Sandgren says the document cited by Budkie is not hidden or covert, but simply a form the university sends to the federal Food and Drug Adminstration each year.
