I also wonder if some of these groups may have found a way to separate their accounting or spin off their animal research into another organization so they can have the best of both worlds: money from animal rights groups from human research and money from others for animal research.

The claim that these organizations use no animals in research surprised me too. Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center does no animal research??? (but see below) But there is a way that business companies can get around this. They can claim not to do any animal research if: 1) the company itself owns no laboratories where animal research is conducted, 2) the company pays contract laboratories to do their animal research for them As for Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, a quick Medline search turned up hundreds of papers such as these (and I've underlined the animal in the title, because the title is about all I can understand of these!): AU - Cordeiro PG AU - Lee JJ AU - Mastorakos D AU - Hu QY AU - Pinto JT AU - Santamaria E IN - Department of Surgery, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, USA.
