In a statement released ahead of a scientific debate on the use of GM animals, Bateson said groups which are morally opposed to the use of GM animals are imposing their views on the rest of society.
Bateson said the pressure groups were trying to convince the Agriculture and Environment Biotechnology Commission to reject GM animal research in a report it will present to the government this summer.
Bateson defended the use of the animals for scientific purposes and added that safeguards already exist.

 Long-Term Monitoring Needed Of Impact Of GM Crops On Environment
Professor Patrick Bateson, Vice-President and Biological Secretary of the Royal Society, said: “We advised the Government almost five years ago that it needed to carry out a review of the way in which the environmental impact of GM crops is monitored in the long-term, but it still hasn’t taken the necessary action.
Professor Bateson said: “Although the Review Panel is due to deliver its report in June, it would make a great deal of sense for its members to also look at the results of the farm scale trials if, as is expected, they are published later in the year.
Professor Bateson said: “There are many crucial decisions to be made concerning the use of GM crops by private corporations, governments and individuals that will affect the future of humanity and the planet’s natural resources.

Professor Bateson said: “Undoubtedly some important questions need to be answered about the potential impact, good or bad, of GM crops on the environment.
Professor Bateson said: “The public expect regulations to keep abreast of new developments in the way food is made, and to be just as effective for both GM and non-GM foods.

 UK Scientists Defend Experiments with Genetically Modified Animals -- 06/10/2002
Patrick Bateson, vice president of the Royal Society, warned Monday that U.K. scientists could fall behind if pressure groups are successful in advancing their anti-GM platforms.
Bateson said some animals serve as very good models for humans and should be used in the effort to find additional treatments for diseases such as cancer, muscular dystrophy and cystic fibrosis.
Peter Cotgreave, director of Save British Science, said that the statement by the Bateson and the Royal Society was yet another indication that scientists have recently awakened to the fact that they need to defend their experiments in the public arena.

 Behavioural Development in the Cat
In this seminar, Patrick Bateson of the University of Cambridge, author of The Domestic Cat: The Biology of its Behaviour, draws on the work of modern scientists, and his own fund of knowledge and experience, to present a thought-provoking and in-depth scientific analysis of the behavioural development of young cats.
Bateson starts by describing the normal development that cats exhibit, and then explains the processes that underlie those changes.
He goes on to analyse how kittens are affected by their social environments, what they learn from other individuals, and how development may be affected by alternative circumstances to the norm.

Recent statements of Professor Patrick Bateson, vice president of the Royal Society, are a good example.
In what was billed as a scientific debate, he angrily attacked activists opposing genetically modified (GM) animal research: "Those who are morally opposed to this research attempt to impose on the rest of society their views that GM technology is a sinister new twist in humanity's quest to conquer nature."
to debate these issues, Bateson dismisses his opponents as a "pressure group" and accuses them of "drowning out the debate over the future direction of GM research by exaggerating the suffering to animals and minimising the benefits to society".
