I must say with the completion of the interchange loops at 410 and 151 this is an eerie looking place from above. Now everyone that passes by from 50ft in the air can look back on steel cages this animals are kept in all day in the blazing sun. I think these new interchanges may open some eyes.
All of these negative reviews concern the ethics of animal testing -- nothing in regards to the actual research center itself. Will be visiting the center very soon, and have given 4 stars due to the ground-breaking research that goes on at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute.
For those that give a one-star, and have never been to a research institute or have ever worked in research, please educate yourselves. Remember, modern medicine has depended on animal research for quite some time.
Using the animal model is incredibly inaccurate, inefficient, and cruel. I am disgusted that my tax dollars are going to fund such bizarre, painful, and absurd experiments to line the pockets of the researchers and CEOs of these institutions. If you're doing nothing wrong then live stream your animal research and let us watch it. If you're so confident in your research then allow for public debate and dialogue with the many scientists and doctors who oppose using the animal model.
Terrible that places like this still exist! We do not need to abuse our animal family with such barbaric testing!
This place is doing great things in the world of biomedical research like finding a cure to Parkinson's diseases and type 2 diabetes. Please educate yourself on what they do and how they do it.
Horrible inhumane facts coming out about this facility...I wish they would send the animals to sanctuaries.
Animal testing is highly controversial but Texas Biomed certainly does what they can to improve the lives of their animals. Not everyone will agree with the work done here but you can t deny the fact that the biomedical advancements discovered at this institute have the potential to save thousands of lives. I m giving five stars because this is a place full of people who care for their animals until the last day.
