Speaking of Research is a campus-oriented organization, which seeks to get students and scientists to speak openly about the importance of animal research in the development of lifesaving medical treatments.
Tom Holder, spokesman of Speaking of Research, was a key member of the UK movement "Pro-Test", which helped win the British public over on the issue of animal testing.
In this video, Speaking of Research challenge some of the misinformation that is spread around by animal rights groups on the subject of vivisection.
The presentation was filmed at a Speaking of Research talk at Oregon Health & Sciences University.

don't you already know what happens in starved animals and burned animals. haven't we done that enough from the beginning to 2010 .Maybe time to move on and not keep on doing the same thing over and over
insulin pennicillin 100 years ago? tell me something new ,animal testing has accomplished that couldn't have been figured out another way?i'll give you mice and rats but leave dogs cats and monkeys alone that's what makes most animal lovers against this . the cat with the monitor cable plug on its head . the monkey restrained looking scared. the animal made crippled so they can be experimented on and the ones with tubes down their throats so caustic sustances can be administered
Example 2: The Bush Administration banned embryonic stem cell research which required embryos to be killed. Scientists in the meantime were able to come up with a way to turn adult stem cells into stem cells that coul be changed into anything, just like embryonic stem cells without killing embryos. I don't like the Bush administration but I think that was a great decision on their part because we need to keep our morals if we ever want to make progress of any kind.
To Tom Holder, I think that we should test on people like you who think that animal testing is the right thing to do. You are wrong on many parts that you have just told, for one animal testing is not regulated as you said, there is so much cruelty and abuse going on in American labs, it is disgusting!! Most of the time vets are not called to end suffering etc, you only have to look on here there are hundreds of videos showing the cruelty going on in the labs.
Have you ever been inside an animal facility - not just watched 3 dodgy youtube videos made of the the odd clips they put together after years and years of infiltrating
Don't fall into the "test on you" trap. because 1. You'll be as bad as them. 2. Vivisection on humans is just as misleading. An example of that if you know where to look were the experiments on human prisoners in the old days.
And don't fall for the animal rights arguments, Pro-Test made its reputation on making jokes out of animal rights moral/ethical arguments alone and terrorist crap. Pro-Test's true weakness is the scientific arguments and historical facts.
