Betrayal of Trust

An eight-month PETA undercover investigation inside laboratories at the University of Utah revealed that under an archaic state “pound seizure” law, the school routinely buys dogs and cats from local animal shelters for use in cruel, invasive, and often deadly experiments.

In the two months since we first released footage of our undercover investigation inside the U, PETA has repeatedly attempted to obtain documents related to the purchase of animals like Robert, but county officials have failed to cooperate, in what appears to be a violation of the state’s Government Records Access and Management Act. So this morning, PETA filed a lawsuit against the county demanding access to these documents, which will shed more light on Davis County’s betrayal of both animals and community members who are unaware that the beloved companions they surrender may be mutilated and killed in laboratories.
