Court Rules LSU Must Hand Over Bird Experiment Records to PETA
The 19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge ruled that Louisiana State University (LSU) must turn over to PETA all the records that we had requested related to LSU experimenter Christine Lattin’s taxpayer-funded experiments on sparrows. PETA filed our lawsuit in December 2020 after LSU refused to release public documents, including veterinary-care records and videos recorded by Lattin, whose experiments involve trapping sparrows, pumping them with sex hormones, exposing them to terrifying calls from predators, and then killing them.
