All the following constituencies make money :
Scientists,
Physicians,
Hospitals,
Regulation agency bureaucrats,
Pharmaceutical companies,
Medical conglomerates,
Politicians,
Animal farmers and vendors,
Lawyers,
Reporters, and News media, to name a few.

Other companies, whose products may or may not pose human health problems, use animal testing to secure themselves against litigation too. Think asbestos. Think tobacco. None of these constituencies can afford for the public to lose confidence
in the idea that animal testing protects them. (See Reference # 4)

Their interdependency is finely tuned :
The more animal experiments the researcher does, the more articles he or she publishes. The more articles published, the more grant money received. The more grant money, the more money the university or research facility receives. The more money the university or research facility receives, the less liable big business is and the more products big business can sell. The more big business sells, the more money for advertising and hence the more compliant is the media. Anytime animal testing is questioned, there are outcries from many vested quarters. All hasten to shore up their positions and keep clear of litigation.

And on the other side of this cabal is the unwitting American consumer, paying through the nose for, at best, nothing and worse, ill health!  Trillions of taxpayer and charity dollars continue to funnel into wasteful experiments that are of no use to the consumer who supports them. (please see Reference # 4 )

Dear Editor/writer, animals are "Sentient" .
A monkey, pig, cow, even chicken is no different from a dog or a cat.  They are capable of being humans' good companions.  Millions of animals in the lab are no different from the cats or dogs we have.  They are all "SENTIENT" animals. Our times need revolutionary change in the medical research. The profit is made from torturing ,killing other sentient beings is simply not acceptable.  That is why and how we become "civilized". However, the Media must be the one with "compassion" and "conscience" to LEAD the society and revolution towards humanity and harmony with numerous other species.  Without all of these good nature, it would be impossible to educate the society, to help people and millions of animals in excruciating pain and suffering in the name of "RESEARCH " ?

PLEASE, write more articles/reports on animals tortured, suffering  and killed in the "ANIMAL TEST". Please educate the society ,politicians, researchers to use "ALTERNATIVES" instead of torturing, killing sentient beings for profits. Please advise investors to invest in NON-ANIMAL related industries.

As always, we are so grateful to you for your kindness, compassion and help.

Very Truly Yours,
Concerned citizens.
