I just changed one sentence in the opening paragraph from "are better scientific alternatives" to "may be scientific alternatives", to give the article a more neutral slant. Apart from that may I say thank you to who so ever wrote this article, having worked in the drugs testing industry for a few years, as this is one of the best and most fair entries on this topic I have seen.

I wrote the initial article, but Wiki Magic has been hard at work making it stay neutral, both in the YKTTW stage and after. I'm happy to see that the article seems to keep itself objective - I was worried about the whole subject being Flame Bait :)

I think you did a great job. It seems very balanced now. I am a vegan and animal rights activist, so my own view may be biased. But I think both critiques are on point. I don't see it as flame bait, at least as far as I am concerned. The things that make something flame bait - sterotyping, misrepresenting views, portraying opinions as fact - are avoided here.

While we're on the subject of Animal Testing, do you think the scientists involved in the 1997 dog abuse scandal of Huntingdon Life Sciences are Complete Monsters?

I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds here, but the page quote didn't seem to support the intent of neutrality in the description, so I removed it. Code is below for posterity:

Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are like us." Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction.
