  Hi Murf, I think animal testing the way it is done in the UK is justified. It requires the scientists to jump through a lot of hoops making them think about their work and justifying why not only animals, but which species and state why the numbers of animals are used etc.. I think in most cases it currently is still necessary. What are your thoughts?
