Update (May 28, 2026): This is big—and it’s far from over.

The Oregon Supreme Court has agreed to hear PETA’s appeal after Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) tried to dodge paying the legal fees it owes PETA for defending the public’s right to know.

Here’s the truth OHSU didn’t want exposed: Experimenters got tiny, mouse-like voles drunk in bizarre sex experiments—then tried to hide the video evidence. PETA sued, won, and a court ordered the university to pay more than $434,000 in legal fees. Instead of taking responsibility, OHSU fought to keep from paying.

Now, we’re taking it to the state’s highest court. See you there, OHSU.

Update (June 22, 2023): In a resounding victory for transparency and accountability, a court ordered Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to pay PETA more than $400,000, after the university went to extreme and illegal lengths to keep hidden videos of absurd experiments on drunken voles. The court found OHSU had engaged in “undue” and “unreasonable” delay in violation of Oregon public records law. As a sanction, OHSU was ordered to pay costs and fees incurred by PETA.

“This victory sends a strong message to OHSU and similar entities that accountability is paramount,” says Dr. Alka Chandna, PETA’s vice president of laboratory investigation cases. “OHSU will now have to pay the price for trying to hide its violent torture of drunken voles.”

Watch the video OHSU didn’t want you to see, and then take action below to tell the National Institutes of Health to stop funding the university’s pointless infidelity experiments on drunken voles.
