Therefore, animal testing should be banned due to the fact that animal experimentation does not benefit human health and it diverts attention away from reliable research methods.
The abolition of vivisection is supported not only by animal activists but also by "scientists, medical doctors, psychiatrists, nurses, veterinarians, and other medical professionals" (Achor 95), who discredit the scientific merits of animal experimentation.
As we expected, the non-animal researches are superior to animal research (Achor 102).

As long, then, as they sojourned in the wilderness, God did ever set before them the terrors of death: in short, their dwelling in the wilderness, as we have said, was their grave.
But when the people descended into the plain of Achor, they then began to draw vital air; and they felt also that they at length lived, for they had obtained their wishes: they had now indeed come in sight of the inheritance promised to them.

Without a doubt, this is our hope; and this is precisely the promise via the valley of Achor of obeying Yahshua and judging ourselves regarding worldly provisions.
But not only do we have the evidence that this promise applies to the Bride via its association with entering into the promised land and holding all things in common, or even Jericho and its devoted things, but in the very next verse we see that this unequivocally relates to the Bride.

 The Valley of Achor
As there is no fruit to be found in heart, lip, or life, until God gives it in the wilderness—so until we come into the valley, the low and humble valley of confusion and destruction—there is no good hope through grace communicated.
When the child of God is sometimes almost in despair through the pressure of sin, the curse of the law, and the condemnation of an accusing conscience—the Lord in this very valley, where all legal hope sinks and dies—opens a door of hope in his desponding heart.
She could sigh and groan, weep and lament, but no joyful song could she raise, for her harp was hung upon the willows, and in that strange land she could not sing the Lord's song.

 Parshat T'tzaveh 5764 - Special Features - OU.ORG
For purposes of the TA'AM, ne-'er-MU remains a two-syllable word, as it were, and in a NASOG ACHOR situation, the TA'AM withdraws from MU to NE, not a double jump, a single one, because the middle "syllable" isn't really a syllable.
If NASOG ACHOR is "called for", because the next word is of one syllable, or of two syllables with the accent MIL'EIL, then we must check the next to the last syllable for suitability to receive the receding accent.
In the case of ha-VU, the ha syllable is not able to receive the accent, because, since the HEI should have been voweled by a CHATAF-KAMATZ, the fact that it has an actual KAMATZ does not change the fact that as a syllable, it cannot be accented.
