The failure rate for animal experimentation to produce treatments has increased steadily over the years and is currently at 95%, overall. Quite the contrary to what Collins claimed to be "rapid progress", cancer drug candidates from animal experiments currently have a 98% failure rate to reach the market, and Alzheimer's 99.6%. Every dollar spent on animal experiments is one dollar down the drain and one less that could've gone to utilizing and developing more human relevant research methods. Not even the most pathological gamblers would choose to bet on animal experiments, yet us tax payers are being robbed to benefit animal experimentation enterprise. No animal testing/care standard can justify this.
