Cambridge primate labsAnimal Aid welcomes the news that Cambridge University has decided to drop their plans for a controversial primate research lab. However, this is not the end of the story and the campaign continues. As things stand, the permission granted by Prescott is active for five years. That means, within that time-frame, Cambridge can come forward and announce it has the money to build the labs after all. |

| "In fact, if one accepts
the premise that wherever possible research should not involve animals,
it would be a stronger argument to say that it is nationally important
to keep together and service the excellent and acknowledged research
expertise in Cambridge to catch up on alternative forms of research
to that employing animals." "Everything we know about Alzheimer's, Parkinson's
and other specifically human neurological disorders has been learned
from studying humans and their tissues... Mutilating monkeys helps
no-one and actually harms patients by misleading researchers and
diverting them from more productive avenues of research, such as
brain-scanning and clinical research." |
