Animal rights group files another
complaint against UTMB

GALVESTON – An animal rights group has filed another complaint against
researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch, citing a study
published in a journal as evidence of animal abuse.
Stop Animal Exploitation Now! filed a complaint with the U.S Department of
Agriculture alleging that an article by UTMB researchers published April 5
in the journal Translational Medicine contained information about animals
that were allowed to suffer instead of being euthanized.
UTMB spokesman Raul Reyes said there was no investigation and accused SAEN!
of making "false and misleading statements."
SAEN! spokesman Michael Budkie said the group also had asked the journal to
investigate whether UTMB researchers had falsely claimed that the animals in
the study were treated in accordance with federal laws and regulations.
He said the research was done at a time when federal agencies had ruled that
UTMB was not in compliance with federal animal-treatment standards. Reyes
said the study was done before the investigation began.
UTMB paid a $33,000 fine in November after the USDA found it had mishandled
guinea pigs, but in March, the Office of Laboratory and Animal Welfare, part
of the National Institutes of Health, found that UTMB was in compliance with
animal-welfare laws and regulations.
