Humane Society Report Features Review by Foltz

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) Pain and Distress Report, Fall 2000, featured a review of an article published by Charmaine Foltz, DVM, Laboratory Animal Resources Section Head. The article, "Guidelines for Assessing the Health and Condition of Mice," was initially published in Lab Animal, April 1999. The HSUS Pain and Distres Report is part of an initiative by the HSUS to eliminate pain and distress for research animals and reports on progress toward that goal. The article by Dr. Foltz and her colleague, Mollie Ullman-Cullere demonstrate commitment to ensuring animal welfare and minimizing pain and distress in mice used in research. Recognition of this commitment by the HSUS is evidence of opponents of animal research and the research community reaching out to recognize common goals.
