"To achieve the impossible dream, try going to sleep." - Joan Klempner

***

The classic poster:


"Thanks to animal research, they'll be able to protest 20.8 years longer.
According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, animal research has
helped extend our life expectancy by 20.8 years. Of course, how you choose to spend those extra years is up to you."

A variant:


"Thanks to animal research, they'll be able to protest 20.8 years longer.
According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, animal research has
helped extend our life expectancy by 20.8 years."

And the 25th anniversary version of the same:


"Thanks to animal research, they'll be able to protest 23.5 years longer.
According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, animal research has
helped extend our life expectancy by 23.5 years. Of course, how you choose to spend those extra years is up to you."

Others:


"It's the animals you don't see that really helped her recover.
Recently a surgical technique perfected on animals was used to remove a malignant tumor from a little girl's brain. We lsot some lab animals. But look what we saved."


"Animal research saves animals
Photos of animals that have survived serious diseases are the heart of the Foundation for Biomedical Research's campaign promoting animal research for the sake of animals."


"*Picture of three cells: cancer, heart disease and AIDS*
If we stop animal research, who'll stop the real killers?
Without animal research, we couldn't have put an end to polio, smallpox, rubella and diphtheria. Now, some would like to put an end to animal research. Obviously, they don't have cancer, heart disease or AIDS."


"Some people think the best way to protect animal life is to make scientists fear for theirs.
Violent crime committed in the name of "animal rights" threatens life-saving medical research. These acts of domestic terrorism divert millions of research dollars into rebulding labs, adding security and protecting scientists and their families. Tragically, the ultimate price is paid by the sick and dying waiting for a cure."
