Website statements
Over 100 leading UK research organisations have web statements backing the ethical use of animals in medical research. While some have had such statements for a long time, many have been made in the last few years.
This represents a dramatic increase in openness about the issue and demonstrates a new-found determination to counter irrationality and violence with facts and arguments.
