But I want to be able to argue about it intelligently, citing science, not just morals. And, in this day and age, do we really need to be stuck with this archaic and barbaric method of research?

and an accountant and an economist and any other "expert" that uses their field to claim a moral authority. This is one of the reasons why we are still on the losing end of the battle with animal researchers.
