That's interesting, I was told recently by a doctor friend that the figure was in excess of 50%. Either way, I'm fairly ambivalent about the whole subject, but if your stats are correct then yes, alternative ways should possibly be sought: equally, if my friend's figures are more accurate then testing should absolutely be continued on animals. What I would say is that whatever the rights and wrongs of animal testing, the likes of SHAC and other militant animal rights groups are, frankly, f*cking idiots, and are not doing their cause any favours whatsoever.
