Animal testing

[ilovejordan]

Like if you think that testing for cosmetics is wrong but for medical reasons it's okay.

Ohh yea thats me *votes*

Well you could always sacrifice them.

[louder]

ew. against.

[Virgin Mary]

Great! More power to the animals

If an animal is bred simply for that purpose, then why not use them for it? It's not like they're sentient anyway, they don't have real emotions and don't feel real pain. Been a thread to do with that theory a while back about animal rights or vegetarianism or something, I believe Eamonn, Helen and myself were campaigning for fair treatment of plants, as it's about as relevant as animal cruelty.

Depends.

Monkeys for cosmetics= bad

Lab rats to test medicine= okay

Im for.
I'd rather they get tested on then me.
However, I was watching a video were 100s of Dogs get killed every year for no reason because they have no need for them. so instead of sending them to a [cant remeber name but were you can buy dogs ect ect] they shot them in the head. ;l

No worse than PETA does.. they kill any animals that are injured, so they don't have to worry about them.

FOR. Most of the people here would be dead if it wernt for animal testing..

Are you for or against animal testing? I'm against it, especially when it's for cosmetics etc. They should get humans volunteers to do it, or do tests on people who are on death row, you can't really say they've got much to look forward to in life.

O.o so you value to life of a rat over that of a liveing breath, centiant human? even though the rat or other animal arnt even conisouse of existance?

Of course they feel pain.
