Answer 1

Let's say you have a relative with a crippling and painful disease. There is hope in the form of some new drug - but in order to find out whether it will kill or cure your relative, it needs to be tested on a laboratory animal.

Which do you choose?

Answer 2

Everyone has their own opinion on this and I can see that you have made up your mind on this already.

Now I will state why I feel it is necessary for us to test on animals for drugs at least..

Diabetes took over 20 years of testing and over 4000 died because of delays in testing by animal rights groups.

Epilepsy is another problem that took a while for the drugs they use to help control seizures was delayed due to animal rights groups.

There are a number of other diseases that the drugs that would help save people were delayed.

As for eating meat I do enjoy my meat and sometime it takes humans culling a herd to keep a herd strong. By people hunting and fishing we are also helping the bred that we hunt. As long as it is done responsibly then I feel it is OK. I am not talking about killing a bunch of animals just for their skin. I am referring to the way the Indians did things. If they killed an animal they use all of that animal and it is a way of survival. If you have killed an animal properly they feel little to no pain.

Most humans that have been shot have reported that they did not feel pain for a while. It was not until they went through surgery or a few minutes after being shot that they started to feel a sting or pain.

BTW I can not wear any make up I am allergic to it.

You are blending together several different questions here. But let’s take them one at a time.

You don’t say what kind of animal testing you are against. Are you aware that most of the medicines that have been developed in the past hundred-fifty years were made by animal testing first…? They have saved hundreds of millions of lives. If you are against animal testing of cosmetics, I don’t have a problem with stopping that. The fashion and style industries have held the consumer hostage too long. We shouldn’t have to worry about if our teeth are white or our armpits don’t stink. If you need cosmetics, make them yourself at home. And, if you turn out to be allergic to them, tough. It’s your responsibility, then. Try them out on the neighbor first, if you can persuade him.

You might enjoy reading Gulliver’s Travels. Jonathan Swift wrote about people who only ate cabbages that were certified to have died a natural death.

Once an animal is dead, why should it care whether it is eaten, or if its fur is used?

Every time we breathe, we inhale millions of bacteria, and they are killed in our lungs by our immune systems. Why don’t you feel sorry for them? Because they’re not cute and furry?

Can you say for sure that a small pox virus doesn’t have a greater right to live than you do? If you don’t think you have the right to live, that is the end of the story.

Plants suffer pain, too. Kirlian photography reveals that the experience pain when they are injured (cut, picked, harvested.) And they can’t run away, the way animals can! Which is more fair?

Unless we want to die, we have to live off other living things. Domesticated animals, and animals kept in zoos, spend a much more comfortable, safer, healthirer life than if they were out in the wild.

If being raised for food is so objectionable, why is it that the animals themselves don’t complain? Why don’t the chickens try to escape from the farm…? (YOU know the movie I‘m talking about.) What makes it funny…? Because it’s NOT REAL. They don’t suffer from anxiety they way we do.

PETA degraded the memory of the millions who died under Hitler by referring to KFC as the Holocaust on our plates. Did you know that some of those killed during the Holocaust volunteered, to spare others who would have been killed, so there would be a chance for the others to be liberated…? Why don’t we see that happening with animals…? Can it be that they don’t understand the concept of oblivion, and hence don’t fear it? Could it be that they don’t understand mercy, and it would be meaningless to them?

If some animals were to volunteer to spare others animals being slaughtered, THEN they would be worthy of our respect. But it just doesn’t happen!

(Oh, and there are already enough people who think that it is wrong to kill murderers, so I’m sure they would want them set free after your kind of ‘cruel and unusual’ punishments. When people don’t see any difference between themselves and animals, they don’t see any reason to punish crime. Why punish people for eating animals, if all we are is animals…? What makes it wrong? What makes us more responsible…? Before whom…?)

For the record: I give permission to use my skin for leather, after I die.

Answer 4

I know most vegetarians don't believe in God, but here goes anyway. Animals are here for us to use in a responsible fashion. It's biblical to eat them. I agree, testing for cosmetics and other shallow purposes is horrific and it should be stopped. I also agree that while fur was once necessary, it's now just wasteful fashion. Leather's fine, since we eat the cow anyway.

I guess if you eat it, it's not a waste. Killing for vanity or torturing it should be criminal, so I agree with you to a point. By the way, I also feel that killing for meat should be done in the fastest and most painless way possible.

If God didn't want us to eat them, why did he make them out of meat? Convicts are way to greasy to eat.

Answer 5

Humans are animals, too. Yes, animal testing is very wrong. It is one of the worst things human beings have ever done, and I'm shocked that it is still considered acceptable. However, the criminals on death row are animals, too. They have Constitutional rights, as well as intrinsic ones.

We need to get past the idea that, because we want cures for diseases, we have the right to imprison and inflict suffering on others in order to find them. The chimps and rats did not cause cancer, and neither did that guy on death row. Stop trying to look for alternative beings to vivisect; vivisection is just plain wrong.

Answer 6

Yeah, but it is LEGAL to do that. I can't wear human skin, thats sick. And we need to preserve our oil by not wearing nylon and rayon coats. It is also cheaper and it is a skill that someone can skin a bear or wolf to either sell the fur or to make into a piece of clothing. Poaching, on the other hand, is ILLEGAL and therefore it is wrong. I think that people shouldn't kill elephants or other endangered animals for thier own greed.

Answer 7

Have the morals of society really sunk so low that we value the life of a lab rat more than that of a human? Have we really forgotten the horrors of NAZI "medical" experiments on human beings in their concentration camps?

The short answer is that God gave humans the right to eat meat. God also told us that we could not call something wrong, or "unclean", if God has declared it permissible. If you do not care what God says, then I do not care what you say.

Why am I going this person the time of day? She thinks that it is more "humane" to poison or starve a prisoner than to find a cure for cancer. I cannot believe it!

Answer 8

Here Here! I second the motion. Specially the morons who have earned themselves a ticket to death row.

Answer 9

It all makes sense when you realize humans were created to destroy the world.

Answer 10

You'd make a great nazi doctor.
