spending 1 million to convince ppl that its okay to continue torturing animals is nauseating! Why don't they take that 1 million and invest it in developing alternative methods? Because the truth is THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANIMALS! That is what AR people are fighting, their utter and obscene lack of ethics and moral concern for their behavior.
Want a spokesperson for vivisection try Hitler's picture because that's the level they're operating at.

The campaign simply brings the voice of many scientists to the public. The public must understand that stopping animal research will have important consequences for our future ability to develop new cures and treatments.

I will also point out that scientists are not opposed to alternatives. In fact, they are the ones that develop them. For the opposition to argue that all current studies could be performed by alternative methods is misleading and factually wrong.

This is a very difficult issue but even as an animal lover, I see the potential that would be lost without the benefit of animal research.

I have looked at many other sites and I have seen very nasty notes and many people believe animal testing is good. We all have our Opinions but this is a fact.
Animal testing is killing, hurting, and torturing animals in the worst way they deserve this earth more than we do. If humans want to testing something they can shove it up their ass and try it on themselves!

The important thing for people against the use of animals in biomedical research to emphasize is that our objection to the use of animals is NOT an objection to research itself. We advocate for the use of alternatives that are far and away more accurate in their results and therefore more beneficial to human health.
