Exclusive: One in three researchers say their peers force them to carry out tests with animals if their work is to be published, while others are too scared to speak out
The Johns Hopkins University Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT) has worked with scientists, since 1981, to find new methods to replace the use of laboratory animals in experiments, reduce the number of animals tested, and refine necessary tests to eliminate pain and distress (the Three Rs as described in Russell and Burch's Principles of Humane Experimental Technique).

A small number, though, have gone “test-blind” or “test-free,” meaning test scores are not factored into admissions decisions at all. That group includes all 33 schools in the Cal State ...
