Listen "Animals used in research"
Episode Synopsis
"Just the mere act of housing animals in a laboratory environment has negative welfare impacts, so whatever happens to these animals as part of a study adds to this stress and suffering."Every day across Australia millions of animals of all species are used for research including mice, rats, fish, reptiles, rabbits, cats, dogs, farmed animals and monkeys. Many people are unaware of the scope and breadth of these experiments and the myriad of welfare impacts that result.Join our host Brian Daly as he speaks with Dr Di Evans, Senior Scientific Officer RSPCA Australia on the current realities of life for animals used in research, the welfare impacts, the urgent improvements needed and animal-free alternatives as a way forward.
