Do you think animal testing is right?

I also believe we should cut back on the meat we eat, quit eating Cod to let them repopulate, stop eating Lamb (how could you!) and rabbit, vennison, duck ect ... Beef, Pork, Chicken and Turkey is more than enough variety ...

Yeah, but fish have a memory span of like 10 seconds.. They also lay thousands of eggs like every month.. Cows, Pigs, Chickens don't always have lots of babies.

Really? COD are practically endangered species in this country ... Pigs and Cows are not.

Are they endangered around the world? Well maybe if the U.S stopped animal testing and closed down factorys we wouldnt' have to dump waste into our oceans where those fishys live.

Those people are alive and as healthy as they are largely because of medical breakthroughs that came about as a result of animal testing. When we find a cure for cancer, it will be through animal testing. When we figure out how to heal nerve damage, it will be through animal testing. When we figure out how to make a pill that will cure a person of depression, or help prevent the risk of birth defects, or cure acne, or pretty much anything in medical science, it will be beause of animal testing.

Yes, I think animal testing is right. It sucks for them, but I place value on human life that is much higher than the value I place on the life of other animals.

Maybe it can be done on animals that are dying or aren't expected to live much long, but to take healthy living animals and do brutal tortures on them is wrong. I mean how would a human like it if another species evolved greater than us and took us away and tested on us?

Healthy animals are necessary for these tests - though of course they do use animals with cancer for cancer research.

Sick animals make the research less effective, which means it costs more human lives in the long run. Not acceptable.

Doing the research on people isn't acceptable either, because this stuff would kill them.

@Seece:

Lamb is delicious

Okay, thats different if they use sick animals. It's giving the animal a chance. but to use a healthy animal IMO is sick.

I never said we should do research on normal human beings!
