003 - Miss Frances Power Cobbe

from Myths and Legends of Alaska · host Stephen Coleridge

Explore the complex and often controversial world of vivisection, a term that evokes strong emotions from those who oppose the practice of conducting surgeries on live animals for research purposes. While organizations like PETA have brought attention to this issue since 1980, the debate against animal experimentation has deep historical roots, particularly in the 19th century when anesthesia was not yet available. This insightful book delves into the personal stories of twelve notable critics from England who raised their voices against the use of live animals in physiological experiments. Join us as we uncover their compelling narratives and the ethical dilemmas surrounding this sensitive topic. - Summary by Jeffery Smith
