Animal Testing in the UK: Going Up

The UK has had a terrible time with animal liberationists trying to prevent the use of animals in necessary medical research. Apparently their campaign isn’t working. The number of animal experiments rose by 2% last year. Obviously, animals should not be subjected to research for frivolous reasons and should be treated humanely when they are so used. But if this research is needed—as the government claims—it is a good thing that result in the relief of much human suffering.
