X-ray spacecraft to search for black holes
ALBUQUERQUE, May 24 (UPI) -- New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson is calling for a revamp of protocols governing animal laboratory experiments at state research schools.
Richardson issued the statement Tuesday after an Albuquerque Journal report about abusive experiments in which mice were forced to swim until nearly drowning, hung by their tails with adhesive tape and used in electrical shock experiments to help a high school student develop a science fair project.
The governor said he wants all research universities "to ensure that this animal abuse never happens again, particularly in the name of science," the newspaper reported Wednesday.
Paul Roth, University of New Mexico vice president for health sciences, told the newspaper he would be "extraordinarily upset" if there were violations of federal requirements.
