I'm thinking of the thousands of animals who suffered tragically and died in pain so a woman can put make up on and not get a rash or something. I wear no make up and never have because of that. I know there's make up out there now that does not use animals as test subjects but I've gone my life without make up, there is no reason to do anything different. I do not use perfumes either. I try to avoid anything that has used animals as test subjects. Sometimes it's not possible but I do try to avoid it.
Animal lovers and those who are against the use of animals for research will want to see this.

If everyone who thought like you went inside any of these labs, and had to see what these animals had to endure for the sake of science, then I truly believe you too would be against it.
If you or anyone else can do that, for a whole week, and still believe in animal research, then I will change my opinion! Any takers?

Indeed against, for we as (supposed) higher beings owe our benevolence to lessor beings. We are animals also, but being of a higher conscious mind. By this understanding only, will we know better. We would find it a horror if it were done on the "man" kind of animal. We must not experment on the innocent! For they are of a much greater purity for they are perfect. Indeed much more pure then we, who call ourselves men, not even knowing the significence of that word, men or man. Indeed we are not truly men until each individual finds that True Man within himself. For only then will he find the capacity for benevolence; this is divine.;

Why don't you take your 100 monkeys to the abortion clinics and save the little baby's that are being murdered by the millions.I've had about 7 amputations caused by bone cancer. You can't eat drink or breathe the air anymore because man has to pollute everything.It's a fact mankind has to destroy everything that he touches.All for the love of money.I watched them milk a cow that had puss coming from her tits if you think that's safe then why not go to Japan and drink some radio active water.Oh no you wouldn't do that you know better.But you'll drink milk from that pussy tit.So don't swear at me i just voiced my opinion.

I'm against the cruelty that i just watched on Peta.com.I think there are more humane ways to get food.And i think they have a cure for cancer.But if they cured all cancer there would be a whole lot of jobs and funding lost.Not to mention all the millions of research centers and labatorys.

TAKE STRONG OFFENCE AT YOUR COMMENT PAPAPEG MY WIFE JUST HAVING HAD HER TOTAL STOMACH REMOVED> THEY MIGHT BE MONEY DRIVEN IN YOUR WORLD BUT NOT IN MINE. YOU "THINK THEY HAVE A CURE FOR CANCER. BUT IF THEY CURED ALL CANCERS THERE WOULD BE A WHOLE LOT OF JOBS LOST" BULLSHIT! THEY CURED THE WORLD OF T.B. LEPROSY AND OTHER DISEASES.
I'm sorry but it's not necessary to experiment on animals or humans.. the ambitious kind call it 'progress', but technological advancement is too fast for our species to adapt to it, and humans and animals suffer for it. Where do you draw the line? It's a learning experience, it is.. there really is no hurry. Evolution will happen naturally whether you become scientific.. or not.

I saw a t.v. show where they were growing a human ear on a lab mouse, it was pretty disgusting, but the benefits of SOME of this research will give wounded veterans a chance at reconstructive surgery. They were using stem cells to grow many different parts of the body. Most of the companies who do this type of research say that animal research is absolutely necessary.
I have had pets my whole life and love animals and nature, but if it's going to benefit millions of humans, I think it may be worth it!
If you lived somewhere and had a major disaster hit, would you eat animals to survive? Most people would give in even vegans.

Everyday i see at least ten different law firms suing drug companies.Why because the drugs that they tested and killed all those poor animals with.Are killing the people that they are suppose to be helping.So kill a million animals make a hundred new drugs then take 99 of them off the shelves.And sue the drug company that killed all the animals for nothing.well that really doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Definitely for it. As harsh as it may be, It saves millions of lives. We eat animals so what is the difference? I wish there was another way but, as of now there is not one. Would you rather a couple of mice or pigs died but, b/c of the science we gained from these animals your Mom is alive b/c of it.

True, we have learnt a great deal from using animals to test certain things, and a lot of people have benefited from that. I must admit that i never did like the animals used for the smoking project, and i have smoked for 50 yrs, and gained nothing.
We still, have cancer, it has never been proved that smoking causes cancer only that its bad for your health, and of course there are people that have/had cancer and never smoked..so i dont dig that argument. The frightening thing in using animals is the fact that they feel pain like we do, and my mind is really not made up as to whether its a good or bad thing, i believe that we have a great deal more to learn in the medical field. and i have certainly gained a lot from that knowledge, how we continue to get it i dont know.

I say yes, every time I think of how many babies are protected with vaccines, one example. I have a grandson who was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism at 5 days old. If not for animal research, he would have been another poor child afflicted with mental retardation. The studies revealed that information, now every newborn is blood tested for this, and many more diseases. Countless diseases are controlled or prevented due to animal research. How else could we get reliable results in research? We cannot use prisoners as they would not yield good results, animals are cleaner living than diseased and drugged out criminals! Thank you science! If someone disagrees, they should donate their body to research, not after death, now...
