REPORTING DEFICIENCIES IN ANIMAL CARE (cont)

A more common problem with personnel is the gradual development of a calloused or non-caring attitude toward the animals. If this behavior is observed, bring it to the attention of the offender or the offender's supervisor.

If you see an investigator or technician who is endangering or stressing an animal because of inexperience, offer to help if you are competent in the procedure. If you are also inexperienced, find someone else who can assist. Mention the incident to your supervisor.
