The BBC Online article covers the details. The main item being that they (Cambridge Uni and Wellcome Trust) can't face the ongoing security costs.

What I would like to see is the wrath of the protesters directed towards other industires involving animal suffering. For example, the intensive farming industry in this country puts far more animals through far more suffering than medical experimentation - and the only positive outcome from this is so that people can conduct the totally unescassary task of assuaging their desire to eat flesh?! I mean what the fuck is that all about...
It's time for the animal rights people to get reasses their priorities.

Monkeying Around and Making Money
01.02.2004 01:12
This is probably due to the minor technical problem that a Monkey's Brain is not a Human's Brain (obvious as that may seem to anyone outside that part of the 'scientific' community that chooses to chop up Monkey Brains in the name of Human research).
Big Up to the Dr.Hadwen Trust I say - keep up the good work of disproving the doubters(like Steve above) by doing medical research that doesn't involve mass murder.
Vivsisection, like most of these entrenched behaviours (on the part of the powers-that-be)has more to with making money and abeyance with trade laws than with research.
As for your rather flippant comments about the meat industry, well, they're part and parcel of the same corporate money making machine that also thought that 'free trade' involves the massacre of Iraqis.
You want to change this..?
There's only one way, baby, and it begins AT HOME!!
