PETA has done a report showing that animal research has failed to help humans.
They point out a number of ways that this is true. For example research money that could have been used to help humans is wasted on animal studies. Many of the results do not apply to humans. Drugs tested on animals often prove useless or dangerous to humans. Some experiments are such that they should never be done no matter what.

We really need to respond to this. Animal testing is an archaic holdover from another century. If we can move forward into the 21st century in so many other areas, why can't we move forward in this area. Why do we cling to animal cruelty and outdated methods? We will never make any progress if we don't change how we do things.
