Reply to comment by fcklikeakennedy 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.

Part of the reason that experiments on animals are so costly is because most of the data they generate does not actually turn out to be useful, so time and money have been wasted. Non-animal methods will save a lot because they will result in human-relevant data that can be utilized by researchers and clinicians. Also, many non-animal methods can be re-used (while most animals are killed at the end of experiments).
