Animal tests get renewed backing

[monkeytrousers]

here

I think this is a tricky one. I'm a vegetarian, mostly for moral and ethical reasons and I'd like to hope that one day science and medicine could move away from this area. But at the same time I couldn't campaign against such testing while it remains vital to medical research, as I would support stem cell testing also.

I was briefly a member of the BUAV but their language was increasingly sensational and overly emotive and that made me doubt their findings. I wanted a more middle ground stance.

What does anyone else think?

yeah, that's the second stupid thing I've said within two posts.

Sorry, Ameriscot.

erm...apology accept, MT.

((((Group Hug))))

Aw, cuddles! Warm fuzzies all around!

EIS!

{{{hugs}}} to you too!

Yes, b/c I llluurrvvveee cuddles!

Boden vouchers, anyone?

Oi, this is a serious thread!

Sorry! I apologise. Am simultaneously watching 'Kids Behind Bars' and thinking, 'Hmm, subjects for medical research?'

You're not in Texas anymore

Ain't that the truth! It's bl(*&y 9 degrees outside just now!

and 9 deg inside in Tx ... but it's a dry heat - not!

My parents spend over $300 a month to run their a/c at 72 degrees all year.

All we have to do is open the 'windae'.

Okay. I'm off to bed everyone. Sweet dreams!

Night night!

Animal rights activists accused of stealing wrong dogs - university students

i don't know if that article makes me laugh or annoys me papillon. its like when animal rights protestors released mink into the wild here, devastating local wildlife. Dur!

ikwym ruty - logic of actions and repercussions is often absent in the heat of, especially, youthful ignorance and passion.

As I posted that link I thought about organ donorship - which I am listed for if I passover when in NZ. Should sign myself up here. I don´t mind at all being an afterlife animal test or lifesaver.
