But I want to be able to argue about it intelligently, citing science, not just morals. Many times tests fail. It's a horrible topic and I post news articles about the abuses from time to time. Apparently, there is a lot of argument out there than animal experimentation is even good for humans. Or vice versa.

The feud between animal rights activists and researchers is among the bitterest in science. Indeed, it often isn't even the best science: New drugs that show great promise in mice, for example, often confer zero benefit to humans, or even prove harmful. This is an important issue. We as a movement cannot compartamentalize.
