Does anybody else think animal testing is sick?

Question

The animals don't deserve it. It's torture. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there willing to be tested on for money. Instead of wasting an animals life, with all the technology we have today, can't we come up with a better way to test products?

This is to -R. Why yes, I actually do like rats. I'm actually asking my parents if I can get one. Every animal has a purpose in this world. No, I'm not a vegetarian. Just because I absolutely love animals doesn't mean I'm not going to eat them. My body depends on it. Your generalization shows your lack of intelligence.

To the people who suggested death row inmates - I LOVE THAT IDEA. Haha, animals have never done anything to deserve the stuff they get. Death row guys definately have done enough to deserve it.

AngelTress- That poor woman can find different ways to get money. That's her choice to get tested on. And heck, yeah I would pick animals over people any day. Animals don't wrong people in any way. People torture them, like what the person who said she heard about someone throwing a rabbit in a furnace. It's sick and wrong and they had NO reason to do that. So yes, any day I would pick an animals life over a humans.

Answer 1

I agree with you. Ignore the rude comments you are about to get. Animal testing is cruel in my opinion. And like you said, there are people out there who are willing to be tested on for money. Human beings have a tendency to think that they are the only species on this Earth that matter. Not true.

Answer 2

Yes I do, I once heard about a bunch of students, throwing a live rabbit into an open furnace. Then stand watching the the rabbit burn before closing the door, yes yes it is sick.

Answer 3

I may catch alot of flack, but I say let's leave the innocent animals alone and use the people on death row instead. I don't mean it like I'm some fanatic, but they already did something so heinous that they're going to die....so why not let society 'pay them back' a bit.

Answer 4

ActUp went after the animal rights crowd when they complained about animal testing which showed promise in dealing with AIDS. I never agreed with ActUp... til then. If animal testing could save a friend or family member's life I'd be all for it. Why not be for it to save other people's loved ones?

Besides, if it was good enough for PeTA big-whigs, it's good enough for the rest of us.

VP Mary Beth Sweetland has diabetes and injects herself daily with insulin that was tested on animals. Yet she campaigns against experiments on animals

She concedes that her medicine 'still contains some animal products -- and I have no qualms about it ... I don't see myself as a hypocrite. I need my life to fight for the rights of animals.'

Answer 5

Your question disturbs me.
I am inclined to agree with you...animal testing is wrong.
As you say, it is torture...
You say it is "sick", and then you add that there are plenty of people out there willing to be tested for money.
So, evidently, you do not think it would be so "sick" to torture a human being...as long as you pay him for his time and trouble?
Let me get this straight...don't hurt the li'l fluffy bunnies...we can agree on that one...
but do whatever you like to that woman there, who was so broke and so desperate, she is willing to undergo the same torture for cash????

I dunno if we can come up with a better way to test products or not...but I am sure of this...if it comes to a choice between the fluffy bunny, or someone's Momma...get ready for rabbit stew...mutations thrown in free!!
Sorry!!

EDIT:
I could go along with using death row criminals instead of the little bunnies and puppies...or even hard time criminals, especially child-molesters or rapists. Heck, they've earned it. Wouldn't have a qualm about their comfort.
But I still say, asking people to volunteer for money for the same kind of testing you object to in animals is...inhuman!
And then there is some research that adult humans just wouldn't work for. Surely, you won't suggest that we use children, as long as we pay them well??
I love animals...but if testing on them could help some child live who would otherwise die...well, I'm afraid my sympathies lie with the dying child. Sorry, but my grand daughter has a serious, life threatening, heart defect. The piggie has to go....

Answer 6

It sucks because they keep doing the same tests over and over even after they know what it can do. But some of it is for the good of man kind which is good

Answer 7

the main important element with a canine who's aggressive is criminal duty, the main elementary variety of extreme aggression is foodstuff aggression. Kennel and rescue spots are constrained and that they view it as a secure and rapid thank you to triage the animals. till there's a qualified adopter, foster or rescue spots with the skill of efficiently and properly rehabilitating each and every canine this regrettably is critical... bear in innovations, maximum shelters and communities like the SPCA have not got an identical in intensity screening and interviewing technique that most of the breed rescues and autonomous foster based rescues have. working with a breed rescue, i will decide for if the canine is suitable for the domicile, i will carry a canine for an experienced proprietor who is familiar with of the matters the canine has and the thank you to artwork the canine for the duration of the habit. The orgs on television act as animal administration and enforcement, additionally they are actually not getting the luxurious of choosing and selecting canines who are available in like rescues. i'd have a stressful time of their place and that i could provide them props for the artwork and attempt they positioned into being a decrease kill take care of, they actively attempt to rehabilitate and undertake out canines that maximum different shelters would without delay euthanize and the actual incontrovertible fact that as quickly as they'd desire to they attempt to euthanize and humanely as available. There are nonetheless shelters accessible in the U. S. that gas canines. on an identical time, i individually i think of the SPCAs technique is a sprint to harsh and black and white, with the components they have, i think of that they'd desire to have a behaviorist artwork with assorted the animals they return to shelters or without delay euthanize using attempt after a quick volume of time with none attempt at suited resocialization and rehabilitation.
