Silver Spring Monkey in restraint in lab ~ 600 Million Dogs Alex Pacheco


Experimenter Edward Taub claims that his work helped millions because it led to something called "CI therapy."


We vehemently disagree with this claim. 


Unfortunately, the experimenter gets the last word on this show, but overall, we consider this program to be fair and respectful toward those of us who do care about animals, so we hope you'll check it out!
