The middle section needs to be removed and is an advert for NAVS beliefs, without ANY references whatsoever. Much of this should be in the animal testing article (except it's unverified, one-sided and actually shouldn't be). London prophet (talk) 10:37, 16 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Whilst I agree that this article certainly needs more primary sources and citations, I'm not particularly convinced about the supposed lack of neutrality. The general discussion about animal testing is made with reference to the NAVS's direct involvement in these issues, and is therefore of interest. Although some aspects of that discussion do not directly relate to NAVS and may well be duplicated elsewhere, it would be difficult for readers to follow the historical context if these sections were omitted completely. As the original neutrality dispute was raised some time ago, does this page still represent an "advert for NAVS beliefs" as suggested? N Withnall (talk) 11:15, 11 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
I've now started rewriting some of the main sections to address the impartiality issues; certain parts of the original text appear to have been copy-and-pasted from the NAVS web site so there was inevitably going to be some bias with that approach, but this doesn't necessarily invalidate the points that are being made.
