PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has launched a new campaign featuring a plea from Sir Paul to put a stop to the use of animals in medical research. Sir Paul states:
"Sometimes people place too much faith in people in white lab coats and assume that there's a need for animal testing just because it has been going on for so long. I believe this to be a holdover from the dark age of medical science, and more enlightened scientists nowadays believe they can get more reliable results with more modern methods. Vivisection has long been presented as a solution to health problems, but trying to mimic human diseases in animals is a costly, cruel diversion. If the amount of money poured into animal experimentation was spent instead on prevention, we'd have much better results to show."
