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:
“The hounding of a dog pursuing a fox or other animal in the horizon may have first suggested the notes of the hunting-horn to alternate with and relieve the lungs of the dog. This natural bugle long resounded in the woods of the ancient world before the horn was invented.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Today so much rebellion is aimless and demoralizing precisely because children have no values to challenge. Teenage rebellion is a testing process in which young people try out various values in order to make them their own. But during those years of trial, error, embarrassment, a child needs family standards to fall back on, reliable habits of thought and feeling that provide security and protection.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
