MADISON (WKOW) – The University of
Wisconsin-Madison research lab has been cited by federal inspectors after a cat
was burned.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture noted in
the lab's records that a hand warmer keep the cat warm slipped onto its leg and
burned it last April.
Eric Sandgren, the director of the Research
Animal Resources Center, says the cat was treated at the time of the injury and
preventative measures have been taken.
The lab was cited, but no penalties were
issued.
According to the Journal Sentinel, the USDA
spokesman David Sacks says the citation was issued after the agency looked into
a complaint about chronic infections and other problems with the cats from the
group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
