The “Massachusetts Beagle Freedom Bill”, if passed, would require researchers who use animals for testing to offer them up for adoption when their tenure is done, instead of sending them directly to be euthanized. Cara Zipoli, Susan Howe of the Aisling Center, and Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), come together on the show to talk with Nichole about their efforts to get this legislation passed. Cara and Susan also explain why beagles are used for testing, why research animals make great pets, and the regulations surrounding animal testing. May is American Stroke Month. Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability in the United States, and it’s one of the top health conditions that can lead to death. Dr. Hugo Javier Aparicio, assistant professor of neurology at Boston University School of Medicine, joins Nichole to explain the risk factors, talk about what triggers a stroke, and ways you can spot the warning signs.
