Hundreds of lab animals left behind following the Trump administration’s Health and Human Services cuts have reportedly been euthanized.
Of the more than 900 animals located at a West Virginia-based National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health facility, a third were killed last week following layoffs there, according to a report from The New York Times. Now, scientists caution that this concerning outcome could happen again, as the National Institutes of Health caps indirect costs, including facilities and administration costs.
