Akenaton-did you watch the programme I refer to in my opening post?

These people are lunatics and criminals, they are prepared to kill, injure and terorise people for the sake of a few guneia pigs!

The company concerned, Huntingdon Life Siences [www.huntingdon.com], carry out life saving research into cancer and numerous other diseases, yes they use a few hamsters etc, so bloody waht!
If it would cure cancer, I would quite happily kill all the hamsters in britain!

The company also test animal treatments to save the lives of pets and farm animals, but the animal rights loonies won't mention that.
