This week on The Animal Free Labcast, Carla Owen is joined by Isobel Martin to discuss the recent parliamentary debate on ending dog experiments, sparked by a petition with over 238,000 signatures. Despite strong public and cross-party support, the government has refused to act — but momentum for Herbie’s Law is growing.
They also explore bold progress in the US, where the NIH is closing its last beagle lab and investing in human-specific science. Is the UK being left behind?
Plus, details on the launch of Herbie’s Heroes with a giant five-foot cut-out of Herbie the beagle in Westminster, and big plans for World Animal Free Research Day on 27 May!
