I think many scientists are now coming around to the view of Akhtar, expressed in the first part of the article. But many large labs (some of them on a near-industrial scale) have invested "big bucks" (as the Americans say) in cages and animal research equipment. They are therefore reluctant to give it all up, as they fear criticism of waste of money (either public funded or donated).
The tide is turning, however, as tissue culture is cheaper and gives reliable results.
