handle is hein.animal/afarnws1984 and id is 1 raw text is: ATTORNEYS FOR ANIMAL RIGHTS Spring 1984 newsletter STANFORD UNIVERSITY and VETERANS ADMINISTRATION SUED for DEATH OF SNOWBALL and other VIOLATIONS OF ANIMAL WELFARE ACT Snowball, just before his death, and earlier, In a pioneering litigation effort, members of Attorneys For Animal Rights (AFAR) have filed suit on behalf of the Peninsula Humane Society, the Humane Society of Santa Clara Valley, and the Palo Alto Humane Society, naming the U.S. Veterans Administration, Palo Alto Veterans Administration, Stanford niversity, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, as defen- Fants. The complaint alleges that the defendants have violated the standards for animal care mandated by the federal Animal Wel- fare Act (Act) and the regulations promulgated under that Act, and seeks to compel the Secretary of Agriculture to investigate and enforce the Act and regulations. The facts, as stated in the complaint, are that on the evening of March 24, 1983, a large white Samoyed dog, whose name we later learned was Snowball, was found collapsed across the threshold of a door in a research laboratory located in the Palo Alto Veterans Administration Hospital, by a third year medical student. Upon examination, Snowball appeared to be in shock, having serious breathing problems, and infected wounds on all four limbs. The ulceration of one wound was deep enough to expose the underlying bone. The dog had a gaping wound in his groin, from which the surgical sutures had separated, and fluid was draining. Overall, he appeared to be in great pain and in need of immediate veterinary care. (more)
