“First of all, a lot of animal tests are used for toxicology experiments (e.g. to test pesticides) rather than for medical science. Secondly, a lot of animal testing is bogus science. Even if a drug works on an animal, it doesn't mean it will work on a human (this is called 'species difference') And there are cases where drugs have worked on humans but not on animals. There are plenty of reliable alternatives to animal testing e.g. genomic techniques. Thirdly, animal tests are extremely cruel, and in a lot of cases are conducted for no other reason than to obtain research grants. Medical ethics aside, there a number of reasons why this plan shouldn't go ahead. The proposed facility will fuel a lot of opposition from animal welfare groups and will disrupt the lives of local people and businesses, as well as putting pressure on the police. The facility, which will be adjacent to Grimston Hall, may require foundations that could destroy an important historical site and a Grade 2 listed wall may have to be partially demolished. The local community will hardly benefit at all from the creation of a breeding centre as revenue generated by the New York-based company will not be invested at a local level. The same proposal has been rejected before. Montichiari city council in Italy recently turned down the same proposal, acknowledging that the facility would have a negative impact on the environment and residents. The application does not indicate how long the construction of the facility will take, so it is impossible to know how long residents and businesses will be inconvenienced. Lastly, the facility will be unpleasant for residents who will have to endure noise pollution, light pollution (from security floodlights), and disagreeable odours from the facility.”

“mrs angry, yes there is already planning passed for a breeding and lab to be erected at lelley, testing on sheep, pigs,
the same company agenda research uk ltd train vivisectors to send to labs but are doing their own by the looks of it,”

“I would not exept treatment, i dont now and never will, and those that have 25% of them have ended up worse through adverse drug reactions, from drugs that were tested on animals, sorry but no body is mentioning toxin tests, battery fluid, botox, female viagra, agricultural chemicals, PREVENTION, where do people get obese fat (saturated) heart disease, want a cure for free , A TOTAL PLANT BASED DIET, is natural, and your body will thank you for it and exercise, colon cancer (meat eaters) blocked arteries, (fat). as far as aids is concerned well you know what to do to stop that dont you, and cancer, research prevention then reasearch cancer reasearch uk, billions of money coming in from people who have been given false hopes and false lies, can you blame cancer research for not finding a cure, they will go out of business, and yes business means everything now a days, NOT, alternatives are working better cheaper quicker but you guys need to give money to them if you want any real progress, think the government home office really cares about you, well wake up NO BODY GIVES A SHIT, humans are me me me me,”

“I have heard there is a new breeding/testing place being built between Lelley & Burstwick? Can anybody shed any light on this?”

“I agree with Sue. Why not use experimental drugs on the low life of society; ie those in prison for violating children, murder and rape.”

“@LM, Hull
I going to write to the people you mention expressing my full support for this venture. We need more places with this entrepreneurial skill to capitalise on research's desperate need for live animal testing.
Breed more dogs, monkeys and mice and test them to hell.”

“i had one of those beagles liberated from a research lab back in the 80's cost me a fortune in benson and hedges”

“Has no one any consideration for those residents who live in Grimston. We have to put up with the traffic from B & K, this quiet country lane becomes Silverstone race track between 8 and 9am and then 4 to 5pm. A small notice on the gate leaving B & K - respect our neighbours - well i take it none of the workers can read!!!!
Then theres the animal rights activists who take it upon themselves to cause as much disruption as they can, shouting abuse at residents - just because we live here, put up disgusting banners to children!!! what good will that do!!!! We know what goes on so why tell us, we are not blind. Go somewhere else and shout the abuse and as for B & K keep the dogs away life has been so peaceful, no noise, less transport, no transport in the early hours 2 - 3am - respect the residents for once and do the right thing.”

“Re Asda, The store is in Hull, the car park is in Bilton, thats why they could not have a filling station, it would have been on green belt land.
If i remember right,the goat seen from the train was in North Hull”

“1. Apolitical - it means not political. Like Atheist means 'No God'. 'A' as a prefix means 'not'. Okay? Anti-political is not the opposite of apolitical. You might be against politics, but as I have no politics, you can't be referring to me. Brain first, mouth later. In your case, perhaps you could borrow someone else's brain - a beagle's perhaps. It couldn't be much worse than yours.

2. I'm not the one who proudly states in public that they experimented with animals in order to have children and grandchildren. Yes, there are perverts everywhere - but most of them (presumably) aren't having it off with animals in order to breed. I'm sure you're not into bestiality, but perhaps you could phrase things a bit better. Again - your English isn't very good and it's letting you down repeatedly. Why not check first? We're all fallible - including me, yes.

3. Having ascertained that English isn't your strong point, perhaps you could contemplate the concept that you might well not understand someone else's English very well?

To reiterate - If animal testing did any good, I'd be all in favour of it. However, the evidence suggests that it does not. That's why I'm against it. Not on moral grounds - on grounds of its lack of effectiveness in helping human beings.

Is that too difficult to grasp? If not, perhaps you could address some of the points I've raised?”
