Around here OHSU is considered: a political, economic, scientific. and medical powerhouse.
"OHSU Gets Voles Drunk, Covers Up Videos, and Gets Caught by PETA
Update (June 22, 2023): In a resounding victory for transparency and accountability, a court ordered Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to pay PETA more than $400,000, after the university went to extreme and illegal lengths to keep hidden videos
of absurd experiments on drunken voles. The court found OHSU had engaged in “undue” and “unreasonable” delay in violation of Oregon public records law. As a sanction, OHSU was ordered to pay costs and fees incurred by PETA.
“This victory sends a strong message to OHSU and similar entities that accountability is paramount,” says Dr. Alka Chandna, PETA’s vice president of laboratory investigation cases. “OHSU will now have to pay the price for trying to hide its
violent torture of drunken voles.”
Watch the video OHSU didn’t want you to see, and then take action below to tell the National Institutes of Health to stop funding the university’s pointless infidelity experiments on drunken voles.
Like a teenager with a bad report card, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) didn’t want the world to see video evidence that experimenter Andrey Ryabinin got a bunch of male voles drunk on alcohol in tests designed to see if they’d be “
unfaithful” to their female partners. So it did everything it could to hide it.
OHSU lied about having photographs or videos of the experiments. It said that the videos belonged to a different institution and then suggested that any videos that might have existed had been destroyed. It lied so much that PETA had to file a lawsuit …
then expand that lawsuit … and expand it yet again to cast a net wide enough to ensnare all the evidence.
All PETA wanted was the visual proof—proof we knew OHSU had all along—that experimenters had slaughtered 150 prairie voles in an experiment so thoroughly unscientific and so patently ridiculous that it would be more believable as the plot of a Scooby-
Doo cartoon than as a serious intellectual pursuit.
After years of legal wrangling, PETA has that proof—and now, so do you."
