I hate to tell you all this but i hope this company goes under! The reality is that Huntingdon is a money making machine that has a real history of very questionable 'testing"..unreliable, unnecessary and abusive to animals. Many other groups, including research scientists, have spoken out against this enterprise.

Moreover, while I do not advocate violent protests against animal research there are some good reasons to question MOST of it. Much of the research is not translatable to humans and the real tragedy is that we humans do not get accurate, effective testing results. Most scientists will now say that the newer type of non-animal testing is much more productive.

I don't believe for a minute that animals should be subjected to cruel testing for no good reason, and I have no doubt that what you say about this company is correct. However, there are proper methods of protesting this and terrorism isn't one of them.

You statements are contrary to what other people on a different thread have stated. According to them this company treats the animals as well as can be expected. You sound like you just might be a peta member or some other animal activists organization. Without animal testing we would be back in the dark ages when it comes to medicine. As a recipient of a heart valve repair, which was made possible because of surgeons practicing on animals before using it on humans, I am happy to support animal testing.

Humans come before animals in my book. As far as these terrorists are concerned I hope they get the maximum, there is no excuse for their actions.

While you may be correct, and I have ZERO info on the company, these idiots need to have the book thrown at them.
