    摘要、提要註: When overzealous animal rights activists threaten one of America's best-known scientists and academic leaders, he collaborates with an analyst of animal rights to produce a personal account of what it is like to be a medical researcher targeted by such a powerful movement. This thoughtful andsurprising book analyzes the effect of animal extremism onthe world's scientists, their institutions, and professional societies. P. Michael Conn and James V. Parker analyze the motivations of animalrights extremists while also delving into the changing ways in which the public and legal system views animals. The Animal Research War counters the lies propagated by extremist animal rights organizations: for example, the fact that animals comprise only 6% of any medical research,and very little harm comes to animals under experimentation. This bookis an intriguing and compelling platform from which to better understand the plight of the modern scientist and the risk to scientific advancement if animal extremism is allowed to win.
