Reply to comment by [deleted] in We're scientists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the world's largest animal rights organization, here to talk about the Research Modernization Deal, the first comprehensive plan to phase out animal experiments. Ask us anything! by [deleted]

This is the question of the hour u/that1dyke. There are a few things holding NIH and other agencies back. One would be inertia from the biomedical sector (it's hard to try something new!). Another is the billion-dollar industry that exists to maintain testing on animals (selling animals and all the equipment that is used to house them and perform procedures on them).
