This is a much debated point but one I feel we should attempt to make none the less.

The writer of this site is a Biology Student who has studied and is continually studying in the following fields: Bio-Molecular Science, Microbiology, Immunology, Ecology and Behaviour.

Much of the research for this involves vaccines, medicine and more importantly the ethics behind them. These are not the views of a left wing vegan who's menstrual cycle in in sync with the harvest moon, nor a hemp smoking hippie. This is our writer's scientific perspective, and obviously our views on self-preservation.
Comments are welcome on this, but please make them constructive and, more importantly based on facts.

Animal Experiments: The Facts

Every year millions of animal suffer and die in experiments that can never be trusted. It is claimed vivisection is essential to medical progress. However, THE NAVS research indicates that not only are animal experiments misleading, they can actually hold up medical progress.

THE NAVS

Founded in 1875 the National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS) is the world's premier anti-vivisection group, campaigning tirelessly since its inception to expose the cruelty and futility of animal experiments.

They organise and fund educational films; undercover investigations of laboratories; detailed scientific reports for MPs, MEPs and the public.

The Lord Dowding Fund, awards grants towards scientific and medical research that does not involve animals.

Against a wall of secrecy and vested interests, they are succeeding in campaigns against the needless suffering of laboratory animals; with your help they will win.

Transplantation across species is regulated in this country by the Government Animal Procedures Committee but Imutran have circumnavigated test rules in the UK in the last year and flown pigs out of Britain to Holland for experimentation. Two pigs were flown out in May, one was killed soon after it arrived and the other was operated on the following morning. The pigs kidneys were transplanted into two Macaque monkeys which were fed anti-rejection drugs to see how long they could survive (Article: The Observer)
