“Alternatives to animal research can provide more precise, cost-effective, and humane answers to human health questions and educational needs.”
—Neal Barnard, M.D., president, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
 Columbia University Cruelty
A PETA investigation has revealed grotesque abuses to animals in laboratories at Columbia University, including subjecting baboons to invasive surgeries and leaving them to suffer and die in their cages without any painkillers. This horrific story came to our attention when a courageous whistleblower, a postdoctoral veterinary fellow at Columbia, stepped forward to tell us what she had witnessed. Read more.
 The Palmer Chiropractic University System
Palmer subjects rats to cruel and deadly spinal experiments (in fact, it even proposed using scissors to cut off the front legs and tails of more than 100 rats) and has added cats to its list of victims despite the fact that one of its own "researchers" questions the value to human patients.

UNC-Chapel Hill receives millions in taxpayer dollars, yet, as PETA can now show, does not provide even the minimal standards of care to animals used in federally funded research as required by the NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (Guide). Chronic understaffing, incompetence, indifference, neglect, and outright cruelty have resulted in the denial of such basic needs as adequate space, food, water, veterinary care, and even a humane death to rats and mice at UNC.

 John Hopkins University
Last year, Science magazine published an article by Johns Hopkins animal experimenter George Ricaurte "saying that one night's typical dose of the drug Ecstasy might cause permanent brain damage." The claim was based on the results of an experiment in which Ricaurte says that he injected Ecstasy (also known as MDMA) into the bloodstream of nine squirrel monkeys and baboons. Read more.

These are the 10 academic institutions with the worst Animal Welfare Act (AWA) violations, the largest numbers of animals killed, and the most painful and invasive experiments, and they are the least willing to make humane improvements.
