If the animals used in research are protected, why do some people want to have animal research abolished?

The welfare of animals used for research in Australia and New Zealand is closely monitored by scientists, government and veterinarians.  Animal welfare groups have nominees on each Animal Ethics Committee.

All these people are working towards reducing the use of animals in research.  They seek to ensure laboratory animals are humanely cared for and - most importantly - they know about the great benefits for people, pets, farm animals and endangered species.
