Researchers maintain that animal testing is crucial to discoveries beneficial to humans and that the majority of experiments use rodents. The march included both the traditional humane societies that protect stray animals and more radical groups, such as the Animal Liberation Front, which has carried out raids on research facilities. The groups are united in pushing three measures in Congress.

By DAVIDG. SAVAGE TIMES STAFF WRITER WASHINGTON In the animal rights movement's largest gathering ever, thousands marched to Capitol Hill on Sunday, calling on Congress to limit the use of animals in product research and urging Americans to "Eat Beans, Not Beings." "The animal rights movement has arrived," Peter Linck, one of the march's organizers, told a crowd estimated at 24,000 by Park Service police. The rally organizers said that 50,000 were there. "This is a growing lifestyle movement," said Tom Regan, a North Carolina State University professor and another organizer of the march. "These people don't eat animals.

They don't wear animals. And they choose not to use products that were tested on animals." Speakers and march organizers stressed the need for humane treatment of animals, mostly avoiding discussions of the tactics that some activists have used, such as breaking into farm buildings and medical labs to "liberate" animals. They said that their movement no longer can be labeled as one of either "little old ladies in tennis shoes" or "extremists," but rather one that represents views shared by most Americans. Last week, Health and Human Services Secretary Louis W. Sullivan condemned animal rights activists as "nothing more than animal rights terrorists."

Adkins had planned the joyful, hourlong ceremony before traveling to Michigan, where Dr. Jack Kevorkian hooked her up to the suicide machine he invented.
