Don’t most scientists care about animals because their research depends on the animals’ well-being?
Investigations at our most prestigious institutions show that this is not the case. At the City of Hope in California, one of the country’s most prominent research facilities, animals starved to death and drowned in their own feces. Many experimenters become calloused after years of research and refuse to see the animals’ suffering. They treat animals as disposable tools for research and fight laws that would improve the animals’ care.
