Guest guest Posted February 11, 2001 Report Share Posted February 11, 2001 More animal test labs to be built Jonathan Leake Sunday Times [uK] January 28 2001 MEDICAL scientists are planning their biggest challenge to the animal rights movement by announcing the construction of three new vivisection facilities in which experiments will be conducted on hundreds of thousands of animals. The Babraham Institute in Cambridge and the Mouse Genome Centre in Harwell, Oxfordshire, both government funded, want to build state-of-the-art facilities to create mutated mice and rats for research. The third, in Cambridge, will house primates for brain and behaviour research. The plans reflect the boom in biotechnology brought about by the human genome project and related research. It is expected that the new centres will contribute to at least a doubling of the present 2.7m animal experiments a year. http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/sti/2001/01/28/stinwenws02020.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
