A fascinating shortcast with environmental theorist Dr Matthew Adams in which he describes his research into Pavlov's Dogs, discovering that thousands of dogs (incuding pets) were stolen off the street and that the results of Pavlov's gruesome experiments are not as clear-cut as usually portrayed. Matthew also explains how he wants experimental animals to be seen as individuals and not the 'interchangeable automatons' so often depicted in scientific literature.
