Scotland on Sunday - Opinion - Genetic science alters war on animal rights
Scotland on Sunday - Opinion - Genetic science alters war on animal rights:
THE guinea pig war was won by the grave-robbers. That was the general verdict on the unsavoury intimidation campaign that has forced a Staffordshire family to stop breeding animals for medical research. Newspapers called it "the new fascism"; the local MP referred to "terrorists". The removal of a family member's body from her grave reads like a ghastly inversion of Burke and Hare.
