      No, never. They do sometimes use animals when testing pet food, to see which recipe the animals prefer, which I always find funny!

      No I haven’t used animals in my work. A lot of work is being done to reduce the number of animals that are used in research so that they are only used when absolutely necessary. There are loads of rules and regulations covering the use of animals to make sure that the animals are treated properly and not subjected to cruelty.
