Reporting Animal Welfare Concerns
The responsible use of animals is an essential part of the research, education and service missions of the University of South Alabama. It is the University community’s responsibility to ensure that these animals are used and cared for in a humane way. If you observe, or are informed about, inhumane or inappropriate care or use of an animal at the University, you should report the problem to the University so that action can be taken.
Although it is preferred that those reporting problems identify themselves, it is not necessary. Anonymous reports will also be investigated. You can report any suspected offenses of fraud, theft, waste, abuse or violations of University policies and/or State or Federal laws.
