[edit]

The article starts out fairly innocently, but further down the page it turns very biased and self-promoting. Also, it was created by a user who appears to be associated with the group the article is about. Sarwicked (talk) 19:47, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article is being updated to address the voiced concerns; the intent is not self-promotion, but for education on the Association and the historic role it has played representing biomedical research and the use of animal models in the legislative process.

This article would need a fundamental rewrite to avoid sounding like a pamphlet for the NABR. There are too many non-neutral sentences such as this one: "NABR recognizes that now, and for the foreseeable future, it is not possible to completely replace the use of animals in biomedical research, and that the study of whole, living organisms is an indispensable element of biomedicine that is beneficial to both veterinary and human health." Sentences employing factive verbs like "recognizes" necessarily promote what follows. Sarwicked (talk) 20:38, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sentence structures are being addressed, and academic references have been added to specifically support statements such as "NABR recognizes that now, and for the foreseeable future, it is not possible to completely replace the use of animals in biomedical research, and that the study of whole, living organisms is an indispensable element of biomedicine that is beneficial to both veterinary and human health."
