Loyola’s Medical School Slammed Over Mistreating Animals

Inspections of Loyola University’s medical school run by the US Department of Agriculture revealed numerous violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act, which resulted in the deaths of rabbits and dogs.

Stop Animal Exploitation NOW based in Milford, Ohio required the inspections, which were made from 2006 to 2007. The inspectors found poor veterinary care, inadequately trained personnel, and sloppy record keeping. This behavior led to the death of five dogs and seven rabbits, the inspections found.

“If a medical school can’t adequately supervise experiments involving dogs and rabbits, then those projects should be immediately terminated,” Michael Budkie, executive director of Stop Animal Exploitation NOW was quoted as saying by the Chicago Sun-Times.
