[QUOTE="Jetgirl, post: 9269897, member: 70964"] Some info for you: I work in and out of the biomed and veterinary fields, I was actually in one of Novartis' vivariums this morning. (Well, looking through the glass, I would have had to showered with disinfectant and put on scrubs to go in). Any time animals are used in legitimate science the researchers must prove that their use is justified, and there is no possible way to do their research without the use of animals. They also have to prove that the animals will not be treated inhumanely. If they don't follow procedure this way, and "outlaw" it, they run the not insubstatial risk that A) Their results will never be published and B) They'll be prosecuted for not following OSHA standards, amoung other. Not worth the risk. More practically though, the strains of animals they use for experiments have to be extremely closely controlled. You pay A LOT to obtain strains specific to whatever arrays you need to preform. You don't just randomly sacrafice a mouse that cost you $45,000. [/QUOTE]
