UCLA is being accused of violating the Animal Welfare Act in connection with the death of two rabbits and a pig at its research labs, an animal-advocacy group announced Wednesday, but the university disputed the organization’s “characterization of these events.”
“At UCLA, the Animal Research Committee is responsible for overseeing an animal program involving approximately 950 protocols for over 400 different principal investigators. Despite the complex nature of this program, we are proud to report that unexpected problems such as these are infrequent. When they do transpire, they are investigated promptly and modifications to procedures are implemented where necessary,” he said.
“We’ve had 2 cases in which our pigs have contracted some form of encephalitis or neurologic issues, one pig suddenly dying, while the other recovered a few days later,” the report states, according to SAEN.
