Join us via Zoom for a virtual watch party of this recently-released short documentary, followed by a Q&A with Director, Marianne Natoli.

About the film: Living Lab Equipment is an independent documentary film by Marianne Natoli. Every year in the United States over 22 million animals are used for testing in government-funded science labs. Most are euthanized. However, a new proposed bill called The Humane Retirement Act would require dogs and cats used in these labs be given a chance at adoption, instead of being euthanized. This film takes an in-depth look at both industry insiders and the advocates pushing for change. It also shines a light on the notorious beagle factory farm for the animal experimentation industry, Marshall BioResources.

About the Director: Marianne Natoli is an up-and-coming documentary filmmaker. She believes that there should be more women in filmmaking and has been excited to add her voice. Marianne has always been passionate about animals and was eager to shine a light on this very important issue in the animal testing industry.
