Santa Cruz Biotechnology Agrees To Record Fine To Settle Animal Abuse Charges
huffingtonpost.com
One of the world’s largest suppliers of antibodies for scientific research on Friday agreed to pay a record $3.5 million fine and stop selling its products to settle government allegations it abused goats and rabbits.
Santa Cruz Biotechnology, based in Dallas, resolved U.S. Department of Agriculture allegations dating to 2012 that its mistreatment of animals at a California facility violated the Animal Welfare Act. Government inspectors said they found sick and injured goats not receiving medical care, a goat that was shot in the head without euthanasia, and a barn full of hidden animals.
Santa Cruz neither admitted nor denied the USDA allegations. Still, the company agreed to surrender its license as a dealer of antibodies, and to end its registration as an animal research facility. The $3.5 million fine, due by May 31, is the largest ever under the Animal Welfare Act, according to the Humane Society of the United States.
