September 2010
Just one week after PETA released the results of its shocking undercover investigation of Professional Laboratory and Research Services (PLRS) and filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the North Carolina–based contract animal testing facility surrendered nearly 200 dogs and more than 50 cats and shut its doors. This is a monumental victory and only the second time in U.S. history that a laboratory has been forced to surrender animals and close under pressure on the heels of a PETA investigation and while facing a formal USDA investigation.
