\\u201cIt\\u2019s like comparing hells - it\'s a different type of hell, right? It\'s just like one hideous place where you\'re neglected and you have all manner of suffering to another place where it\'s a different set of conditions of suffering and misery.\\u201d \\u2013 Dr. Alka Chandna

This conversation took place a couple of weeks ago as a live event. It\'s with me and Dr. Alka Chandna, PETA\'s Vice President of Laboratory Investigations. At the time I called it, The Realities of Animal Testing, which is a pretty horrible name as nobody really wants to know the realities of animal testing. But I think it\'s so important that we do know, because the more we know, the more we can change.

Alka has spent the\\xa0past two decades at PETA fighting to end cruelty towards animals. She is an expert on animal experimentation. She has submitted dozens of complaints to highlight violations of US federal animal welfare laws, guidelines, and policies. And, she\'s has worked on numerous campaigns to end animal testing and has had original research published in peer-reviewed journals on policies pertaining to problems with oversight of animal experimentation.\\xa0

Please listen and gain a deeper understanding of why testing on animals needs to be a thing of the past and why it\'s crucial to move towards human relevant methods.\\xa0
