I would like to post a link to an article that changed my way of thinking forever. It can also be found on PETA's Animal Research site. This is an absolutely brilliant debunking of animal research written by a team of 6 doctors and scientists for a health advocacy organization. It's not gory or sensationalized (thankfully) yet it's so effective, and packed with unbelievable (but well documented) statistics that I think everyone should know... It's 20 pages, but well worth the read. I couldn't stop once I started... The link gives you the option of downloading a PDF file, or lower down I believe you can link directly to the different parts... anyways, enough talking, I just had to share this... it affected me very deeply.
