Description: Presents scientific evidence to support the authors' contention that animal experimentation has not led to any significant advances in the treatment of human disease; charges that the practice continues because of a faulty system of funding; and urges scientists, researchers, veterinarians, and physicians to speak out on the failure of animal experimentation as revealed in their own fields.
