Breakthrough treatments for high blood pressure, HIV infection and obesity: they’re all available in part because of studies done on animals. And though the Animal Welfare Act has for many years regulated the treatment of lab animals, more than 95% of those used in research today are excluded from its protections. Larry Carbone is a veterinarian who’s spent decades caring for animals in research facilities. We talk to him about the value and ethics of animal research and what he thinks needs to change. His new book is “The Hidden Lives of Lab Animals.”
Guests:
Larry Carbone, laboratory veterinarian; author, "The Hidden Lives of Lab Animals: A Vet's Vision for a More Humane Future"
