So essentially, they don't need to do it anymore; so they're gonna stop doing it.

Unless they need to start doing it again; in which case they'll resume doing it

of course if they wanted to, they could always "offshore" any further research to a country with fewer animal rights protectionists. Sort of "rendition" of goats

You don’t need to be good at swimming to save lives.

OBVIOUSLY YOUR STUPIDITY IS ONLY MATCHED BY YOUR INCOMPETENCE.

As far as I recall, Haladine used goats in his experiments for DCI because they lifted there legs (bent them) as the slightest experience of DCI in the joints....

Mind you, you can just picture a goat being shot out of the tordeo hatch of a sub...
