Right or Wrong in your eyes?

Question

Animal testing, without it, a loved one of your's could have or can die from new drugs, cosmetics even.

Dont get me wrong, I love animals, but if it means keeping my children or loved one's safe from harm...I'm all for it.

Why wouldn't a human want what is best for our race? Especially if this means we are kept from being harmed is some way?

I just dont understand why animal activist get so angry with laboratories.....
would they rather it be their child, mother, father, ect. being the one who dies because they decided that animals were more important...?!
Just thought you would all like to voice your opinion..

Here is a tid-bit of info also;
Defenders of animal testing credit it for major medical breakthroughs, including penicillin, insulin, the polio vaccine, chemotherapy for childhood leukemia, hip replacement and heart bypass surgeries. They find the loss of animal life and well-being an acceptable price to pay for the benefits to humans.

Answer 1

There is animal testing, and there is animal testing,

I would agree we need testing for curing disease with drugs
we have no other way to make sure the drugs are safe to use on humans, But they do testing of cosmetics by putting it into the eyes of rabbits, and if it does not destroy their eyes, they assume it won't destroy human eyes...I think that is not right, to subject these creatures to possible injury, just so women can put stuff on their eyelashes because they think they look better.

Answer 2

i do not believe in any type of animal testing, in my opinion if something is that dangerous that it can kill the animal humans should not use it either. i refuse to use anythingthat has been tested on animals
