In this Flock Friday bonus, Lindsey Soffes of Rise for Animals joins Mariann and flock members for a live Q&A diving deeper into the issues raised in this week’s interview — including the campaign building around Marshall Bioresources (the largest remaining dog breeder for research, with an estimated 20,000 animals), how primate research centers are quietly dropping the word “primate” from their names while changing nothing about their practices, what consumer choices can undermine industry players like Marshall, how to counter the animal research industry’s increasingly sophisticated PR efforts, the potential for university-based labs to be significant targets for change, and whether Rise for Animals is expanding its litigation strategy to force transparency through public records.
Thank you so much to our incredible Flock for making our content possible. Your support is what allows us to bring these important conversations to life and keep fighting for the animals. We are so grateful for you.
