Every year some 15,000 animals - mostly mice - are

shipped into the UK for research.Some leading scientists are

warning that pressure from animal rights activists is reducing the

number of animals being brought into Britain for research.All

ferry companies and all but two airlines have stopped importing

animals intended for research laboratories.

Lord Drayson, who was a minister under the last Labour government, said animal research was "regrettably" necessary and that people would "suffer and die" without it."If we do want to have access to medicines, and I believe that we do - in a survey carried out in the past 10 years more than 87% of the general public have said that they support animal research for medical uses.And so unfortunately we do have to do this."

However, Alistair Currie from People, for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said researchers should work harder to come up with alternatives to animal testing."More man 90% of drugs that pass trials in animals fail when they're given to people," he said.They either prove to be unsafe or simply ineffective."

The BBC's Tom Fielden says animal rights campaigners have been imprisoned for taking direct action against laboratories in the past and more recently have focused on creating bad PR (public relations).He says this has included letter-writhing and web-based campaigns against transport companies, which appear to have had an effect.

But the scientists who depend on the animals for their work have now decided to speak out to try to persuade the government and the transpon companies to stand up to the campaigners.Professor Robin Lovell-Badge, a geneticist at me National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), told the BBC it was important that scientists were able to import animals, so they could work together with colleagues abroad. Dominic Wells of the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) said, "The problem is that they can't be put in a suitable transport."

63.Now animal rights campaigners are trying to affect importing animals by _______.

Winning the lottery (彩票) Is not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for many past winners.Sad stories do exist in large numbers for the past lottery winners and that's why some financial experts say "70 percent of lottery winners will squander away (乱花) winning within a few years."
