christians that hate on other religions

pagans that hate on christians and always act like little bitches

animal rights people that hate on animal testing, which a lot of good things have came from.  No company is going to pay out of the ass to torture animals if there is not hte possibility of something good coming from it.  Also, scientists are people as well, and would probably not like to mistreat an animal, but do their jobs in the best way they can

As a scientist myself, who works in a field prone to animal testing out-branching (Genetic Engineering), I always found within my own ethics code to be against animal testing. 

While I agree that some times (and through the history of the last 70-80 years), animal testing have produced some important results and findings, if you look at the majority of those tests, you'll find that they were unnecessary, cruel and outright disgusting.
Animal tests in the cosmetic area are amongst the worst ones, as hundreds of thousands of animals die just by simple allergic reactions that can' t appear on humans, simply due to a different genetic constitution.

Plus, in every field that requires animal tests, you also need to have a very strict control group regarding the phase were you begin to compare the data between animal testing and human testing, simply because of the same reason, different genetic input and reaction to any particular testing compound, thus sometimes making animal tests rather unnecessary, as the results yielded are impracticable on humans.

On topic - I rarely hate on anything, hate is such a strong word that shouldn't have a place on this world, but I do dislike a lot of things, amongst them passive-aggressive people who always try to bring others down while trying to look innocent. I know way too many of them, both in real life and here on the internet.
