AI ENG Dub - 3 Million in Labs: Uncovering Germany`s Animal Experiment Industry

In this episode Julia Radzwill from Ärzte gegen Tierversuche explains the organisation's history and work, reveals how official animal testing figures can hide the true scale of suffering, and describes shocking examples of cruel experiments and the weak approval process in Germany.
She outlines the systemic reasons animal testing persists—career incentives, industry interests and underfunding of alternatives—and highlights promising non‑animal methods like organoids, multi‑organ chips and AI, plus the organisation's NAT database and campaigns pushing for political change.

Wildlife filmmaker and conservationist Erik Baláž recounts decades of fieldwork in the Carpathian Mountains — living alongside bears, campaigning to stop illegal logging, and documenting natural rewilding across the region.
The episode covers dangerous direct actions, scientific insights about deadwood and carbon storage, the making of the series Into the Carpathian Wild, and a personal call to protect Europe’s last large wildernesses.
