The economic costs for vivisection are quite high though huge profits are drawn from this same industry Being a multibillion dollar industry it has been very difficult to curb vivisection and being that the industry has been so much defended, even with a clear picture of it hindering the battle against human diseases A leading mammalian research center-The Jackson Laboratory for instance, sold 29 million mice with a profit of 987 million dollars being accrued Investing in such a procurement can therefore be quite a lucrative enterprise for those who are animal importers, breeders, feed producers and drug companies, just to mention a few With the purchase and maintenance of these animals in laboratories being expensive to deal with, the most used research animals are rats and birds as they are inexpensive to buy and maintain, easier to manage and disposable without much of whining and concern from the public
