I don't support animalresearch and I have no sympathy for animalresearchers. I don't believe they want an honest dialogue about what they are doing to animals. I don't believe they are "brave" for "standing up" to animal rights activists. I would never advocate violence against a researcher.
The "brave" animalresearchers are taking their argument to the public and bypassing animal right activists. a billboard funded by the Foundation for Biomedical Research. Thanks to animalresearch, you won't." Let's discuss the research. Let's discuss the research. Here's an example.

Big pharma is also involved in promoting animalresearch for its own benefit. It claims that it must research on animals in order to save people, but then charges such high costs for drugs to these same people that many, even in the rich country of the US, must forego them and risk their lives.
It should be no surprise that the American Veterinary Medical Association is an apologist. They have paying members that are part of the animalresearch industry itself. Cleverly, they also emphasize how many "animals" are saved by animalresearch.
The Foundation for Biomedical Research (FBR) announced today it has launched a one-year national animalresearch education campaign. Since 2004, public support for humane animalresearch to advance human and animal health has fallen 10 points.

I really believe the more people learn about what researchanimals go through, the more common decency becomes a factor. But how many animalresearch supporters (non-scientists) actually step into a room and observe an experiment? They are too disturbed, frightened, or threatened to do so.
