Here is another recent interview with Zipporah Weisberg in the Queen’s Journal.
As Weisberg explains, “”We do consider animals in laboratories to be members of the Queen’s community,” Weisberg said. “The fact that there’s no transparency about what’s happening to these animals is a real problem.””

Zipporah Weisberg explains some of the goals of Queen’s Animal Defence and some of the issues with existing regulatory bodies that oversee animal research in Canada.
As Weisberg explains, “The only regulation in the Animals for Research Act is that they not cause unnecessary suffering and that leaves the question as to what is necessarily suffering open to debate and there is no debate around it. Any suffering that’s inflicted in the name of so-called science is considered necessary and acceptable,” said Weisberg.”
