Let's drug-test on conservatives, republicans and anti-abortionists instead of on animals.
The results will be safer and the world will be a better place for it.

Originally posted by davidtravellingQuite so. These awful scenes of extreme cruelty to animals are more likely to have come from backward countries of the so called third world , or even websites catering for perverts.
Yes, I do find it hard to believe that large amounts of a scientific community who are dedicating their lives to eradicating disease enjoy torturing animals.

Originally posted by davidtravellingDepends how you define need. Animal tests are needed to develop new drugs, but are new drugs needed? Do we have a right to kill animals in the hope we may find cures for diseases? Or should we halt animal testing until the alternatives (computer modelling) become viable in 30, 50 100 or 200 years time?
Yes, the media. Are you suggesting that this is all propoganda and, in fact, there is no need for animal testing in the medical sphere at all?
If so, why are Oxford building a new laboratory at great expense and trouble?

No i didnt, I said
"As one writer in The Tmes put it (and i'm paraphrasing here) some of these "activitists" are motivated less by a desire for animal welfare than by a hatred of humanity. Pretty well sums it up for me."
Pretty well sums it up for me - i was saying that I agree with his opinion.
Anyway stop being pedantic 😀

I know I've been testing cigarettes for 50 years and wouldn't ever consider sharing them with animals.
