I got an idea for a short story but curious how to get some facts straight..

Is testing still done using cats? How popular is it?

What type of radiation could make skin or hair glow?

I'm looking for serious answers before muse leaves town again....If you are worried about boss or animal activists, post using a free account....

If you've seen these answers on a PETA page, give me the link.....Gotta write while writing is good.......

BTW, I don't support animal testing or like it in any way. If you read my finished story, you'll know this.......No, I'm not giving a link to my story either......

I know disections are still done using cats. It's sick because there are so many videos of ones already done, available on the web. Most people say they learned nothing from disecting these animals, that were murdered for them, than they didn't already know from seeing video or pictures. Which means these lives are needlesly created & taken. Often many different species of animals, 'foetal' unborn cats too, but they are still cats & obviously the mother is murdered too, after being exposed to unatural procedures etc. The conception as with most animals these days, usually a result of rape too. Enforced pregnancy is common place, especially for farm animals to ensure genetic diversity etc. Animals are raped & tortured for our pleasure these days. Created in excess on a scale nature could never achieve. Animals feel pain etc humans have evolved beyond doing this, there really is no excuse for the behavior of humans. Technology is so advanced these days there is no need for humans to breed & murder animals ever. Tests are still done on many animals & for prety useless stuff, that will ultimately end human life too. As in the case of IVF drugs tested on animals- I will not describe, as the thought of them makes me vomit. Not because they look sick, but because I know the pain that must have been felt. Often no pain relief is given to these animals in severe agony, as it could comprimise results & often they are given paralyzing drugs to stop them squirming. Which makes it look like they are not in agony, though they are & even more disressed. Many animals don't show they are in pain, because in the wild it's a weakness that could get them killed. So for them to want to show it, shows how uncontrolably agonizing it must be. Then to top it off these drugs are used to create huge excess of 'embryos' built humans. Who are often disposed of as clinical waste or mutilated/experimeted on, then murdered. Stem cell research can be done using cord blood, there is no argument in existance that can justify murder. When humans take life that poses no threat of physically killing them or unaturally endangering their life, it's murder. Lack of money, the fear of loosing power, quality of life etc are not valid reasons for this.

The pain felt by one being dying can be as bad as the pain felt by a billion beings added together experiencing that same death. There is no way to tell who will feel what, as scientists knowledge of sensory pain is not difinitive. Pain can't always be seen & recorded. This means scientists claiming pain can't be felt are putting a lot of faith in that theory. As one who is not faith driven, it makes me sick to be human.

Animal testing is still a huge business. Government doesn't care, they get plenty of kick backs from the company's. They are in effect allowing themself to be blackmailed. To attempt to justify it by saying it could provide a cure for cancer etc is futile. As we all know nature will just come up with a new disease even worse. Sadly disease/illness is the natural way of population control & very much needed. I have lost several close friends to cancer. But I can't let emotion rule logic, we are only animals to at the end of the day, diseases created by nature will not make us all extinct. The fact we know dead is forever & others feel agony, does not give us any more importance. Just a responsibility to use this to ease agony. Sometimes a cure can't be found & relieving agony is all we can do. Sadly doctors are more interested in fixing things than being human & relieving pain. Scientists play with biology & just make things worse CJD, bird flu etc. If we were talking about genetically eliminating the affliction that is getting pleasure from sex (something which can lead to 'abortion' murder) so that sex is done only to reproduce, not cause suffering. Which makes it an unwanted affliction- a genetic mistake may have made sex pleasurable unintentionaly anyhow. The need for it to be pleasurable is no longer needed, as many humans are built with the desire to want to reproduce. Even at the costs of their or the childs life.

In short most people are sheep, they go with the heard. Afraid to rock the boat, they let themself be brainwashed & told murder is sometimes acceptable, if society deems it to be so. Humans had better shape up though, because evolved humans won't tolerate this.

In animal testing, drug companies make every effort to use as few animals as possible and to ensure their humane and proper care. Generally, two or more species (one rodent, one non-rodent) are tested because a drug may affect one species differently from another. Animal testing is used to measure how much of a drug is absorbed into the blood, how it is broken down chemically in the body, the toxicity of the drug and its breakdown products (metabolites), and how quickly the drug and its metabolites are excreted from the body.
