Plans to build a major new medical laboratory in England were scrapped Tuesday in the face of protests by animal rights groups, who claimed the decision as a major victory�.Cambridge University said the project, which would have used monkeys for neurological testing, would no longer go ahead and cited spiraling costs over security needed to keep out anti-vivisectionist groups. ...The university and the publicly funded Medical Research Council (MRC), said the decision was a great disappointment as the laboratory would have attracted scientists from around the world to work on diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's...."The research is vital and 'vital' means likely to save lives," he said. "This research will go on elsewhere...in the world.�

Once again, the sick eco-freaks behind the �animal rights� movement show what they really hate: technology � and the human lives it saves.
