In the United States, we are in the midst of a health care debate in which the pharmaceutical industry disguises itself as a champion of the people. Big pharma is also involved in promoting animalresearch for its own benefit. But animalresearch is necessary, they also claim, because there are simply no other alternatives.
It should be no surprise that the American Veterinary Medical Association is an apologist. They have paying members that are part of the animalresearchindustry itself. Cleverly, they also emphasize how many "animals" are saved by animalresearch.
The feud between animal rights activists and researchers is among the bitterest in science. But many researchers - although adamant that animalresearch remains critical to finding cures and expanding medical knowledge - have come to concede that using creatures as human stand-ins is unnecessary for many procedures.
But how many animalresearch supporters (non-scientists) actually step into a room and observe an experiment? How many of them actually see these animals in the labs? Tags: animal experimentation UK europe research alternatives medicalresearch.

This looks like its for farming of livestock, not medicalresearch, but that's bad too. Research on animals is research on animals. Mike Rounds wants a biotech animalresearch facility built in South Dakota. Rounds says a biotech facility is important in creating disease-free animals.
For Engber, who dispassionately describes procedures most of the time, the "advances" in the medical care of humans are all well worth what he and other vivisectionists do to dogs and other sentient nonhumans. Actually, I didn't quit neuroscience as a result of the experiences described, but I did quit working with animals.
This particular animalresearch controversy is occurring in New South Wales (Australia). Welfare groups are calling for an urgent public debate on animal testing amid claims millions of creatures are being killed or maimed every year in Australia in the name of science. From the online Sydney Morning Herald.
At a conference in Brussels, Belgium on 6 November, European Commission Vice-President Günter Verheugen, and Science and Research Commissioner Janez Potocnik restated the EU's commitment to the reduction of animal testing. Tags: europe animalresearch drug companies medicalresearch.
Drug industry group EFPIA said the parliament had managed to balance the protection of animals, the reality of biomedical research, and the needs of patients. Nothing, nothing makes me angrier than animalresearchers. Tags: europe animalresearchmedicalresearch.
