    I also respect yours, and your want to help humans. That is a wonderful thing to dedicate your life to. However animal testing has not proven to help eradicate disease. There are plenty of other research methods. Not every lab in the world tests on animals. It is old school research. And even if some animal testing helps in some research, the end does not justify the means. Torturing one being to save another isn't moral, in my opinion. That being said I wish the animals being tested on were cared for in the best way possible as well, but again this does not happen. Animals are continually left in states of agony and distress. Right now millions of animals are stuck in baren cages with horrific wounds and in pain while we sit at our computers eating and listening to music. These animals feel pain, and fear, and lonliness. Who are we to subject them to such agony? We should respect all life, not just lives of the same species. Doctors in Canada used to do research on the mentally handicapped. They figured since these people are of lower intelligence then it's ok. This is the same type of thinking.
    I just feel if people saw what actually happens in these labs they would be horrified.
    Anyways, I can rant and rave, but the torture will continue.

    halv, we need committed, passionate people like you to put forward your views and to negotiate for better conditions. If you can you should try to get involved with a group that promotes this. I will say one thing though, if you really want to help the animals then learn to speak to the people you need to negotiate with in terms that they understand. It's ok to rant and rave, you are angry, but if you want to have maximum impact with those that you need to negotiate with then learn to speak to them in terms they understand. They will be much more likely to listen and take on board what you have to say if you do. I hope I don't sound patronizing. I'm simply trying to help you. I understand about how to talk to researchers and doctors because I've had to do a lot of it in my working life. Anyway, that's my two cents worth, hope you aren't offended. I'd be happy to hear more of what you have to say. :)
    NOPE!!!
