I don't support animal research and I have no sympathy for animal researchers. 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.

When you read stories in major newspapers and magazines such as the New York Times, Washington Post, and Newsweek, be wary of simplification, bias, and a tendency to support traditional views indifferent to animals’ interests.

This is a continuation of an earlier post about why I question animal testing. Oftentimes, scientists seem to think that they just need to waive their PhDs and research projects in everyone's faces and we should all shut up and bow our heads to their great wisdom. It is about the Bayh-Dole Act and it has really stuck with me.

It's a book about societal collapses resulting from poor decisions about the environment, resource-use, etc. This is one of the reasons why we are still on the losing end of the battle with animal researchers. Tags: animal experimentation medical ethics medical research science.

I've decided to quit my book club, which I dearly love, because of a member who works in medical research and supports animal experimentation. Then I read more about what's happening at the New Iberia Research Center in Louisiana. Here's a post from Animals and Politics. She supports this.
