i wonder if i would have picked studying in a department at university that encourages animal testing if i had known how extensively it happens before i started uni. i am only realising now as my classmates are starting to conduct their research in the animal lab - how did it take me five years to realise what actually goes on in the fifth floor of

sounds familiar.....I started working in my department at university, and our lab was doing mostly physical chemistry experiments basically dealing with machines, and melting and remelting proteins and dna. and I was eager to start working in other 'more serious' labs. but when I saw once in elevator going up from the basement a bloody plastic bag on a tray......my decision to continue with it all was completely reversed and after realizing how much of animal testing was involved in those studies, I completely switched to other non-life-science subjects. I wish I'd done my homework about the animal testing previously too...but the bottom line is that it's done in virtually every science lab all over the world.

after seeing that i probably would have made the same decision you did! all i can say is that i'm pleased to have personally stayed as far away from it all as i can do, and i will continue to stay away in the future!
