Reporting Concerns about Animal Use at Texas A&M
Anyone concerned with an animal’s welfare or is aware of non-compliance with policies, rules, regulations and laws regarding animal care and use for research, teaching or testing may contact a member of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, Attending Veterinarian or IACUC administration. Complainants may remain anonymous. It is the goal of Texas A&M University to ensure all animals are treated humanely and in accordance with the Animal Welfare Act.
