Supreme Court Sides With PETA Against LSU in Public Records Case

In a huge win for animals and government transparency, the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled in PETA’s favor and ordered that Louisiana State University (LSU) can’t keep public records about Christine Lattin’s deadly experiments on sparrows hidden. The university has fought PETA to keep Lattin’s records secret since 2019, saying that it had no records or obligation to provide records that it did have. The state supreme court’s decision compels the university to finally follow the state’s public records law and turn over documents and videos relating to her experiments.
