Duke University Using Pigs to Study 'the Bends' (with Shriya Swaminathan)

<p>I recently came across a story in the Raleigh News&amp;Observer about PETA condemning research Duke University scientists were conducting on pigs to study decompression sickness, or &quot;the Bends.&quot; This grotesque study subjected pigs to unspeakable suffering, and ultimately death. Shriya Swaminathan, science policy advisor at PETA, has been on top of the issue for years. Just 3 years prior she was on another podcast talking about similar research being conducted on sheep at the University of Wisconsin Madison. I wonder how many animals will pay the price for humanity&#39;s hubris.This type of work can be grim and depressing, so I feel deeply grateful for people like Shriya who dedicate their lives to pursuing an end to this exploitation. I highly encourage everyone to follow the links below and urge an immediate end to cruel testing on animals.</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/rGtAbOPAENE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">This podcast is also available on YouTube</a>.Links:<a href="https://www.peta.org/navy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Act Now</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@peta" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">PETA&#39;s YouTube</a><a href="https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/education/article316910898.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">News&amp;Observer story</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/peta" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">PETA&#39;s IG</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/official.peta" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">PETA&#39;s FB</a><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@officialpeta" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">PETA&#39;s TikTok</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gqwpfEcBjI&t" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Watch Earthlings</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQRAfJyEsko&t" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Watch Dominion</a></p>
