Animal welfare
Harlan Laboratories said it was "dedicated to humane care and animal research use". IACUC and its veterinary staff manage policies and procedures to ensure that all animals used are conducted in accordance with government and industry standards.
In the UK, The Sunday Times reported that dog beagles kept on large farms allowed only 20 minutes from their cages per week because the company, "is exempt from the major animal welfare legislation that requires dogs to have daily exercise ", and instead" comply with the code of practice imposed by the Home Office ". A former employee of Harlan told the Times that he was shown how to separate the fighting dogs by "kicking and hitting them". The company said they investigated the allegations and found that "there were some inconsistencies between sites in the way the dogs were separated during the battle".
Harlan has been the target of animal rights activists, and the Animal Liberation Front group has raided Harlan Interfauna moving animals and documents. For an attack in 1990, where 82 beagle dogs and 26 rabbits were taken, John Curtin and Danny Attwood were sentenced and sentenced to nine months and 18 months in prison each.
In 2006, more than 1,000 animals, including 25 ape monkeys, were removed from Harlan in Correzzana, Italy, with computers and equipment destroyed, by Animal Liberation Front in Italy.
