Description

We can learn a lot about how an animal lived by studying them after death. Veterinarians from Animal Health and Protection invite you to witness a necropsy, offering a small insight to an animal’s life and death.

This event is not for the faint of heart. There are strong smells and some blood as we look at the internal organs of an animal. Safety equipment including lab coats are provided and all participants will be given a short tour of the lab and safety briefing.

Space is limited so you must register for this event. Registration opens 2 weeks before the event.
