I recon there is a pretty good argument for animal testing, but this was not it... If you want to try and put a controversial topic like this across, at least try and give a fair and balanced argument rather than take a holier than though attitude to us common folk. And the reason you feel intimidated on campus is the same as the reason you had your lunch money stolen at school. sorry, but it is. x

What a biased programme - most of the contributors were pro animal testing, with only one contributor (who was only featured briefly) being against. It was totally unconvincing, ignoring both the weight of medical evidence which doesn''t support animal testing, and the scientists who don''t either.

Rodreegez, you may have a point. Scientists tend to be a rather reserved and sensible bunch and tend to be less able to deal with aggressive opponents than politicians or journalists, and the tendency of scientists to reject any kind of community spirit as being contrary to the ideal of independent thought doesn''t help. However you must credit Pro-Test with doing its best to change this situation, with considerable success in the UK.
As to the science, well the fact that every major professional organization representing scientists and medical researchers that has taken a position on animal research (and that''s most of them) is in favour of it is a powerful argument that animal research is vital to medical progress. To say that the medical researchers are divided on animal testing is a like saying that climate scientists are divided on climate change.
So called "scientific anti-vivisection" is based on distortion, misrepresentation and quoting scientists out of context. A quick look at the RDS website, which demolishes many anti-viv claims, should be enough to persuade you of the dishonesty of anti-viv propaganda.

Rodreegez, were they causing hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of damage by blowing things up in order to get your lunch money?
