Rep. Thanedar’s Pharma Company Abandoned Over 170 Dogs And Monkeys After Bankruptcy

  • In 2010, Michigan Democrat Rep. Shri Thanedar's pharmaceutical testing company AniClin filed for bankruptcy and abandoned approximately 173 dogs and monkeys at its New Jersey lab.
  • In 2010, Bank of America took legal action against six businesses owned by Thanedar due to loan defaults and subsequently placed them under court-appointed receivership, resulting in Thanedar losing control of the facility and its animals.
  • The court-appointed receiver MorrisAnderson found animals in poor condition, with conflicting reports on their health and disputes over care responsibility involving Thanedar and the bank.
  • Thanedar denied knowledge of the animals' plight after receivership, stating repeatedly that he had no idea what happened during the months the animals remained in limbo.
  • The animals were eventually placed in sanctuaries and shelters by animal welfare groups following court approval, but the episode raised ongoing questions about Thanedar's responsibility and ethics.
