Researchers defend use of animals for biomedical teaching, tests
AUSTIN (AP) — In the war
between science and the animal
rights movement, University of
Texas veterinarian Jerry Fineg
is at ground zero.
So after a group of animal
rights advocates broke into a
Texas Tech University lab last
month, stole five cats used in
sleep experiments and did
$70,000 worth of damage, Fineg
began taking extra precautions
at the Animal Resource Center
on the UT-Austin campus.
“We’ve gone to rigid enforce-
ment of security procedures
every day,” said Fineg, director
of the center, which provides
animals for UT biomedical
teaching and research.
Fineg said he now locks all in-
side as well as outside doors at
the 50,000-square-foot center. .
The facility has 22 African
monkeys, dozens of rabbits, a
few dogs and cats and thousands
of rodents.
Only the monkeys are
unavailable for “acute studies,”
the term for experiments that
may injure or kill.

“Ultimately all of the (others)
are euthanized,” Fineg said.
Fineg added pain “is not ever
considered a normal part of an
experiment.”
“But many times, it is
unavoidable,” he said. “We can
ameliorate the pain with an
anesthetic in many cases. In-
vestigators are not as cold-
blooded as they are sometimes
made out to be.”
Animal rights advocate Ann
Koros distances herself from
those who commit crimes for the
cause. But she says animal some new and improved
research is pointless violence. dishwasher detergent or
“I don’t think anyone has the something like that,” said Ms.
right to use any animal for any Koros, founder of Animal Rights
purpose. Certainly not to make Kinship Inc. in Austin.
AUSTIN (AP) — It is wrong to
keep juries in the dark about the
way parole laws affect prison
sentences, say legislators and
law enforcement officials who
support a proposed constitu-
tional amendment to give jurors
such information.
The amendment on the Nov. 7
ballot is meant “to inject some
degree of honesty, some degree
of integrity, into the operation of
our criminal justice system,”
Rep. Dan Morales, D-San An-
tonio, said Monday.
Proposition 10 would allow
judges to inform juries about the
effects that good-time and
parole laws have on the time a
convicted person actually
serves.
Sen. J. E. “Buster” Brown, R-
Lake Jackson, and Morales head
a coalition called Texans for
Truth in Sentencing that hopes to
raise and spend $25,000 to push
for passage of the proposition.
The two lawmakers sponsored
the proposed amendment during
the regular legislative session.
