A Utah State University researcher exposed guinea pigs and hamsters to radiation outside of a project’s approved scope and also withheld pain medication after performing surgeries on the animals, according to a newly released report.

The report from the university says 75 rodents were irradiated and notes some died, though it doesn’t specify how many.

Now an animal rights and research watchdog group is calling for the employees involved to be terminated from the northern Utah school.
