Don't pay attention to the animal rights activists reviews on this book. They probably never even read the book but just write reviews to bash pro-animal welfare. (if you don't know the difference, look it up) This book is written by a Veterinarian who spent his life trying to battle and understand the different controversies in using animals for research. I will be a Vet. Med. student this fall and I am interested in going into lab animal medicine. I am a huge advocate of animal welfare and I am also a scientist. I got this book to help me better understand animal welfare and the use of animal models in research. I know that animal models must be used to advance science but I also believe only ethical procedures should be allowed. This book was exactly what i was looking for. It discusses the borderline of animals in research. This really reflected the controversy that has been going on in my head ever since I started doing research. It was comforting to know that other veterinarians share the same questions as i do and i learned a lot from reading this book.
