A powerful spotlight has been cast on the perceived rights and wrongs
of using animals in research by the prime minister, who has signed a
petition declaring support for animal experiments (Blair backs secrecy
law to thwart animal activists, May 15).
Mr Blair is quoted as saying: "We are now seeing very welcome signs of
both individuals and firms being ready to stand up publicly to
intimidation and making clear this extremist fringe is out of touch
with public opinion."
