What happens when the job you dreamed of becomes something you can no longer reconcile with your values?
In this episode of Keep It Humane: The Podcast, we sit down with Madeline Krasno, co-founder and Executive Director of Justify, to discuss her journey from working as a primate caretaker at the University of Wisconsin–Madison to becoming an advocate for animals used in research.
Madeline shares her experiences working inside a primate laboratory, the animals who left a lasting impact on her, and what ultimately led her to speak out. We explore the realities of animal experimentation, the emotional toll on people who care for laboratory animals, and the importance of supporting those who want to create change from within the system.
We also discuss transparency, free speech, and the challenges of challenging powerful institutions.
This is a conversation about animals, accountability, and what happens when personal experience changes the way you see the world.
Because helping animals sometimes means listening to the people who have seen things the public rarely gets to see.
