Yep, good ole "worthless" "loony" PETA
Whistleblower Exposes Culture of Cruelty at UC at Denver and Health Sciences Center

An animal care technician who worked at the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center (UCHSC) for five years turned to PETA when officials refused to deal with serious charges of neglect and mistreatment. The whistleblower reportedly witnessed repeated violations of federal laws and regulations governing the care and use of animals in laboratories, including the following:

* Failure to provide veterinary care and euthanasia in a timely manner
* Improperly trained animal care employees
* Improper review and approval of experiments
* Inadequate anesthesia during painful surgeries

snip

PETA has asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to conduct an immediate investigation and is calling on UCHSC to dismiss the current animal care and use committee and replace it with members who are willing to do their jobs.

More at link. I've not watched the video, and likely won't. A couple med pics on the page.

So, officials won't do anything. Whistleblower goes to PETA. PETA acts. Worthless, pathetic PETA. :sarcasm:
