Why animal testing fails

[Catherine]

Quote:The tide is turning, however, as tissue culture is cheaper and gives reliable results.

This is the point, cheaper and better, who wouldn't choose tissue culture.

However you are right about the money invested in cages and research equipment.
The labs could be converted to tissue culture, but what do you do with all the cages? Staff are trained to work on animals. Many of them would need a lot more training before they could work on tissue cultures. If you neglect tissue cultures, they die! Neglected animals just suffer in silence.

The change will come, but much slower than it should. Millions more money, time and animal lives will be wasted before animal testing is abandoned. Many people will develop and die of diseases that we will one day cure because we are so slow to change.
This is a very sad situation in every way. When we push to stop animal testing we are the voice of the future saying there is a better way.
If only the right people would listen.
