The figures for animal experimentation in Ireland seem to be on the rise, and this week, we discussed the complex issue of vivisection. This was just a short chat, and we really do need to look into this in more detail with better background information at some stage in the future.

Vet spot on East Coast FM: can experiments on animals ever be justified?

I am a veterinary surgeon with a passion for communicating my love of my work through writing, radio,  television and the internet. My mission is to use the media to act as an advocate on behalf of animals.
I am a partner in a busy 4 vet practice in Bray, Co Wicklow, Ireland, but I spend 50% of my working week on media work. 
I've been broadcasting a weekly "vet spot" on my local radio station, East Coast FM, for the past fifteen years, and I'm delighted, through Soundcloud, to now make this weekly animal-related discussion available globally as a podcast.
