This is an important rebuttal of government political pandering for animal research. Would have been great to see such a powerful statement from Ontario or U15 university leaders.
Doug Ford is barking up the wrong tree with a ban on animal research. Nobody likes the idea of cute little puppies being killed. But populist pandering to emotion is anti-science rhetoric that serves no one, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... @theglobeandmail.com

The Ontario Premier’s populist pandering in the wake of a report over beagles used in research is knee-jerk, anti-science rhetoric
