Animal Testing
Some scientists at NIMR perform research on animals. Because of this, and the perception that the Institute is the MRC's flagship facility, there were weekly protests by members of animal rights groups outside the complex. These protests usually took place on a Wednesday evening, and normally had a low attendance (5 people or less).

Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or testing:
“Man is the only animal that laughs or weeps; for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are, and what they ought to be. We weep at what thwarts or exceeds our desires in serious matters; we laugh at what only disappoints our expectations in trifles.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
“Now I see that going out into the testing ground of men it is the tongue and not the deed that wins the day.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
