EXTERNAL STUDY This is a summary of an external study
Descriptions of 28 violations of the Animal Welfare Act confirmed on seven University of California campuses during the three-year period from August 2010 to June 2013.

28 violations of the Animal Welfare Act were confirmed on seven University of California campuses during the three-year period from August 2010 to June 2013, including the failure to meet basic animal welfare protocols for animals such as cats, dogs, and monkeys.

[Abstract excerpted from original source.]

“This report details citations for animal welfare violations that schools in the University of California (UC) system received from the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), a division of the United Sates Department of Agriculture (USDA), between August 2010 and June 2013. These citations indicate confirmed violations of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) found during inspections by APHIS of animal experimentation facilities at UC campuses. This report underestimates the total number of violations because any violation that a University contests remains confidential while it is being appealed, and many of these currently confidential violations will eventually be confirmed violations of the AWA.”
