The firm filed a lawsuit yesterday under the Massachusetts public records law on behalf of our client People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Inc. (“PETA”). The lawsuit seeks to compel the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources to provide public records about the transport of monkeys and other non-human primates into and out of Massachusetts. The suit argues that the department’s refusal to provide the records violates Massachusetts public records law and improperly shields from public scrutiny the individuals and organizations involved in importing animals into the state for animal experimentation.
