What’s Next? Ending Animal Tests
Groundbreaking, culture-shifting progress is underway in the fight to end animal testing, and UnchainedTV's Truth Files dives deep into this monumental shift with host Jane Velez-Mitchell and guest Wayne Pacelle, President of the Center for a Humane Economy and Animal Wellness Action.
Pacelle has been at the forefront of these historic victories. Notably, he was a key figure in negotiating the release of more than 1,500 beagles from the notorious Ridglan Farms breeding facility in Wisconsin, ultimately securing its closure. Furthermore, Pacelle brought his powerful advocacy to the world as a lead speaker at both the start and finish of the historic March to End Animal Testing that put the spotlight on the nation’s biggest animal breeder for experimentation, Marshall BioResources, where many thousands of beagles are still confined.
During this compelling interview, Pacelle discusses how his organizations have spearheaded key legislation: bipartisan efforts to pass the FDA Modernization Acts (FDAMA 2.0 and 3.0), to eliminate outdated animal-testing mandates while accelerating more accurate, humane, human-relevant alternatives.
The fight for animal protection is far from over. Velez-Mitchell and Pacelle also address the ongoing legislative battle to keep the insidious Save Our Bacon Act—which threatens to bring back cruel pig gestation crates—out of the upcoming Farm Bill.
