Humans continue to invent new deadly biological weapons all the time, so nothing has changed except that perhaps the substances tested are different. But one thing IS the same: the animals suffer and are killed, for very dubious and probably invalid results. I noticed this passage in the articles:
"Not only are these tests cruel, they're also utterly useless, since even though humans and other species experience pain and fear in the same way, every species differs in its physiological responses to chemical agents and antidotes.
"The fact that the MoD, with the best technology in the world at its disposal, still chooses to torture animals in costly and agonising experiments, which cannot be extrapolated to humans, is a bloody stain on the whole country."
How true!
