Publisher's Synopsis
Most people prefer not to think too much about how biomedical and pharmaceutical research is carried out. In fact, Michael Slusher states, the truth is more brutal and horrifying than many would even believe.
In this startling book, he lifts the lid on his experience as a research biologist, chronicling the animals he worked on � from mice and dogs to monkeys � and the graphic procedures that he performed on them as part of his job. He also shares his reflections on his work and the traumatic memories he carries, pulling no punches.
This is a challenging but important book for anyone who is concerned about violence against animals.
