Other "Pet Food" Companies: Contracting With Killers
Kansas State University
On Wednesday, November 27, 2002, an unnamed representative from Kansas
State University (KSU) called the laboratory in question to see if
the cats who are raised and sold by the lab receive socialization and
enrichment. A laboratory employee assured the KSU representative that
the cats are provided with socialization and enrichment, but in fact,
the opposite is true. According to KSU, the phone call was part of
its “quality assurance screening process to try to ensure temperament
suitability.” A telephone call to an animal dealer cannot “ensure
temperament suitability,” especially when—as in this case—facility
representatives are willing to say what the buyer wants to hear in
order to make a sale.
If KSU is truly interested in avoiding “substandard facilities,” its
representatives must visit the places from which it hopes to buy its
test subjects, which is the least that the university can do for the
animals who are killed in its experiments. Please ask KSU to end its
program of animal experimentation or, at the very least, implement
a meaningful screening process:
