Unhappy with
prior decision

Members of Students for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals
are not pleased that they are
unable to view animal holding
facilities in Streisinger Hall
A decision by University offi
cials last week to allow onlv
press members a view of the fa
cility, specifically the room
where two Rhesus monkeys are
preparing for research, has left
SETA members wondering
whether something is being
covered up
"The University is claiming
the facility is in top shape, and
our concern is if this is tin
case. then why are we not able
to go and see it." said Todd
Hausman, SETA co-direi tor
"1 don't have a burning de
sire to go in there, but it would
be much more credible (for the
University), and I do have an
interest in the monkeys' well
being." he said.
Hausman said following a re
cent discussion with l)r. lack
Vanderlip, director of the Uni
versity's veterinary services, he
is hopeful that a small group
from SETA will be allowed to
view the facility in the near fu
ture.
Monica Semeria, SETA co-di
rector. is currently writing a
letter to Vanderlip in an at
tempt to allow SETA members
to view the facility.
"It's wonderful the Universi
ty is opening up to us."
Semeria said "When we first
asked they said no. then they
said to write a letter Dr.
Vandelip."
Semeria said she did not ex
pel t much from the University
because of its past record. She
said she was surprised the Uni
versity has even said it may be
possible to view the facility
both Hausman and Semeria
said they visited the facility last
spring term during an open

Members of Students for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are
upset that they were excluded from a ret:enl tour of the
University's animal research facilities.
house hosted by the University,
but the animal's rooms were
virtually unoccupied.
Hausman said the issue is not
just the well being of the mon
keys. but of all the animals
housed in Streisinger. "The
primates have been the focus,"
he said
“The concern right now is
that the facility be accessible to
the public, that the student
body and the public have input
into how the research is con
ducted.” Hausman said. "Up
until this point the public has
been excluded from the pro
ceedings
"For them to simply exclude
a group (from viewing the mon
keys) hurts tin- legitimacy of
the research.” he said.
Ilausman said he is not con
tent with current legislation
governing animal care liecause
such protections do not do jus
lice to the animals' welfare
So while the University may
lie meeting or exceeding the
standards of the Animal Wel
fare Act. the standards are not
very stringent. Hausman said
Semeria added that everyone
involved has focused on the le
gal question involved and not.
as usual, with the ethical ques
tion of whether one animal has
the right to use another.
