Porton Down does outrageous experiments

[Catherine]

They keep testing chemicals so they can find more deadly combinations. They created nerve gases decades ago, but they want faster more aggressive weapons. They know all about viruses and bacteria, but they seek out more dangerous strains. They are trying to make weapons from them.
It is horrific that they are doing things to animals. It is needless cruelty. From that point of view it is unacceptable and must be stopped.

The other side of it is what they are developing and why. We don't need more weapons. We do not need to find "better" ways to destroy. It is risky that they might find something that we can't control.

All that research money could be used to find cures for diseases. They could be researching ways to overcome the effects of pollution and climate change. We cannot afford to waste our resources like that and as a civilized society we cannot afford to overlook such cruelty to helpless animals. It diminishes all of us.
