"...It is a legal requirement to carry out animal testing to ensure they are safe and effective"

Lord Drayson

This quote comes from an article written in the Telegraph newspaper on the 23rd March 2010 

Quote: “Despite the work that is going on to find alternatives, at the moment it is not possible to ensure the efficacy and safety of new medicines without using animals. It is a legal requirement to carry out animal testing to ensure they are safe and effective.

 

“We have a duty to explain that. If we are open with people and the more we engage with the general public, the more the extremists will lose the argument.”
