In November 2007, the animal rights group PETA announced that one of its employees had infiltrated the Oregon National Primate Research Center. PETA also accused OHSU of abuse. Within the same month the United States Department of Agriculture, which enforces the Animal Welfare Act, conducted an inspection in response to PETA’s claims. That inspection resulted in OHSU getting a clean bill of health. View that report by clicking this link.
Despite the USDA’s inspection results, PETA recently expanded their Web claims about OHSU. In response, a grassroots research advocacy group Speaking of Research has written an extensive web post in response. The response includes video clips that directly conflict with the claims made by PeTA. Speaking of Research’s rebuttal can be viewed here.
