AR-News: (UK) Primate research lab plans axed

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

Plans to build a controversial centre for experiments on monkeys have been 
shelved by Cambridge University. 
It decided security against attacks by animal rights groups would have made 
the laboratory too expensive to run. 
BBC News science correspondent Pallab Ghosh said the announcement will 
embarrass Tony Blair and John Prescott, who gave their backing to the project. 
The centre had become a focus of the growing battle between medical 
researchers and anti-vivisectionists.
