An animal rights group alleges in a lawsuit
that the University of Wisconsin illegally withheld public records
related to animal testing at a Madison lab.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals filed
the lawsuit Monday in Dane County Circuit Court. PETA alleges that pictures and
videotapes of animal tests at the university should have been
provided when requested instead of withheld.

The lawsuit also alleges the university illegally withheld
noncompliance complaints, investigatory reports and redacted
information on other records that shouldn't have been kept secret.
The records requested related to eye movement experiments on
animals.

University spokesmen had no immediate comment.
