There is a war being waged between the scientific establishment with its backers in politics and industry, and “us” – that is people who reject vivisection, or the use of non-human sentient beings for research – when it is forbidden to “use” humans for like experiments. The main reason why animals are used, of course, is their inability to prevent people doing it, and a legal framework – pretty much worldwide – that allows this.
We have covered this issue on the site many times.
https://www.understandinganimalresearch.org.uk is a UK organisation that lobbies the cause of the vivisectionists, big pharma, and who else profits from this, by pretending to further public understanding as to why this practice is necessary and continues to be so.
Here are several articles:

Animal rights activism and extremism
Lies lies lies. Naturally. Further evidenced by the picture library, where you see NOTHING of the horrors we know for a fact happen daily in labs – only think of HLS, in the UK.

These images are aimed at the gullible public, to show that labs are full of nice people and happy animals.
So much for that …
