But as far as they are concerned, I am still an animal rights terrorist for the mere fact that I disagree with them. I almost quit a book club a year ago because one of the members is a proponent of medical research. All of this BS by medical researchers must be challenged. I'm sorry, but I am not moved.

Here's a short analysis of the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act which makes me wonder if what we do on this blog could be construed as falling under it.

I occasionally read Scienceblog when there is mention of animal research issues. It's a site that, according to its own description, is half reader blogs and half press releases from research institutions. Here's the first of an apparent series by a blogger on why we need to do animal testing.part 1 - drug discovery!!!

I found a link to them on ANIMAL's blog (ANIMAL is a Portuguese animal rights group.) These scientists are NOT an animal rights group. They do support some animal-based studies (which sucks); HOWEVER, they acknowledge that much animal research is useless. Tags: animal research.

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. I thought I could stay with the group because she does give me fodder for the blog. Tags: animal research. And like I said, I love the other people in it.
