官方数据表明，在过去的11年中用于实验的动物的数量持续上升，但大臣们坚持认为这些实验都被严格的控制，而且这些实验对于医疗研究也是必须的，但是反活体解剖组织谴责政府违背了寻找替代品的承诺
[3]The number of experiments went up by 190,000 to 3,202,000 last year, a rise of 6 per cent. The main reason for the rise was the growing practice of breeding genetically modified mice and fish for tests in which disease-causing genes are inserted or removed. About 1.15 million such procedures took place last year, an increase of 114,000. The Home Office also recorded the use of monkeys on almost 4,000 occasions but the number of tests was down by 6 per cent.
