Airlines shouldn't give in to radical animal rights.

There is a raging debate taking place in America about animal travel and airlines.  And it’s not whether passengers can fly with their therapy peacock.  The issue is whether airlines will continue to allow the transportation of research animals on their airlines or will they “virtue signal” to radicals on the left. While not nearly as sexy to cover as passengers seeking to carry hamsters and pigs to grandma’s for Thanksgiving, this story is much more important and it could effect medical research and development as well as the ability of the US to maintain its status as the home of medical innovation.Animal research is a critical key to unlocking wonder drugs and developing medical devices that save both human and animal lives, as well as provide new treatments for serious ailments, and treatments that may prevent disease outbreaks.  Moreover, under federal law, and due to medical protocols, animal research is required by the FDA before new medicines and life saving treatments can be approved for use in humans.
