[from Columbia Daily Spectator]In its fight against animal cruelty in medical research, People for theEthical Treatment of Animals filed a complaint against Columbia Universitylast Wednesday. The complaint, directed towards Dr. E. Sander Connolly'swork on baboons, focuses on what PETA believes to be experiments conductedin violation of New York state law. It also more broadly addresses animalcruelty in medical research at Columbia.The complaint is the first complaint filed by PETA against a researchuniversity in over twenty years. It follows several months of controversy,during which PETA sought to draw public attention to animal cruelty inColumbia laboratories and asked the University to amend its policy. PETAfirst became aware of experimental practices in Columbia laboratories whenCatherine Dell Orto, a veterinarian then working as a postdoctoral fellowat Columbia, complained to them about the animals' condition.full
