In India 95 per cent of experimental research involves the use of animals. Over the last 55 years our national research institutions, universities, medical, veterinary and pharmacy colleges have killed millions of animals in the name of research. Unfortunately, only now are we beginning to realise that most of this "research" was either unnecessary duplication of research already done in more advanced countries, or it was done merely for obtaining a degree or for getting publication credit, or just for career advancement rather than advancing scientific knowledge.
