It was clear when talking with Neil about his experience during the first reading that it was a challenging time for him. Each person faces their own personal dilemma about animal research and for Neil it was between his natural love of animals, as a farmer and dog owner, with the desire for legislation that allows medical advancement for humans.

Whether you agree with Neil’s view or not, I hope the video gives you a new or better insight into the thinking behind the development of the new European animal research directive 2010/63/EU.
