Yes, thank God that people like Morrissey exist. News like this is always disturbing. With all that we know...with just common knowledge and love and respect...how can anyone deliberately harm, injure or kill another living creature? How do these people sleep?
It seemed the world was divided into good and bad people. The good ones slept better ... while the bad ones seemed to enjoy the waking hours much more.
Woody Allen
Don't want to trivialise it, but I think that's how they sleep at night. Bad people don't care, hence they sleep like babies
I agree with pretty much all of this, particularly hunting for sport, and I'm sure the average man on the Clapham omnibus would too, which only leaves us to ask specifically in case of medicine or the food supply, what is the alternative? As we stand there is none. Whether we like it or not animal testing in particular will remain a cornerstone of medical science and we are as far away from alternatives as we have ever been.
We can all say it's awful and mean it, until our loved ones or ourselves need treatment. Then it remains awful, but necessary.

Thanks for your agreement.
However animal testing is NOT, strictly necessary 4 our knowledge and understanding and advancement of medical science and health.
In fact its almost redundant and of little use!
The mapping of the human genome and our understanding of DNA, the molecules of life, within our genes, will enable us 2 "switch on or off" genetic information that causes Illness and disease and many other changes we choose , and in fact, in the every near future, even almost stop the ageing process and death indefinitely.
(not that I nessacerrally agree with all genetic engineering, Im 100% against the genetic engineering of "Frankenstein GM plants" )
Computer modelling and simulations are just as, and almost as informative, than actual physical testing, giveN the "super computers" we have these days ect that effortlessly make incredible calculations in micro seconds!
Advances In quantum physics and micro engineering, biological micro biology and electron microscopy ect ect will also have a great deal 2 tell us via employing with non invasive techniques ect.
Not 2 mention bacteriophages (sorry going slightly off topic now!) which are viruses that infect bacteria and can reprogram bacteria via replication of there own DNA within the bacteria in order 2 change the bacterial pathogenic causing characteristics .
We will probably need this knowledge very soon due to the unprecedented rise in resistance 2 bacterial anti biotics.
But if people still insist on testing drugs , cosmetics ect on advanced multiceller organisms -
THESE SCIENTISTS CAN TEST THEM ON THEMSELVES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or test on other humans who are prepared and agrea 2 be test subjects.
Animal testing is therefore unnessary as far as medicine is concerned if we pursue these alternatives in much more detail ect.
But most Importantly, animal testing is MORALLY / SPIRITUALLY wrong, just as human murder is wrong, the cruelty and suffering that is caused in these labs in hell, cant be justified on any level, not even in order 2 advance our knowledge, especially so when there are far more effective and informative alternatives available 2 scientists!
All cancers will be curable very soon, matter on a few years now without animal testing.
We should feel very lucky 2 to on the edge of this great achievement!
There is no justification whatsoever for animal testing WITHOUT THERE CONSENT in this day and age given our medical knowledge and advancement
Completely true, not to mention that animals have different physiology, so the testing is often completely inconclusive; however, it is always painful and cruel. Great post!

Yes we do wanna know
But where are all the other members replying to this post?
Every Single Day of my life I think about the animals, whether it be in the neighbourhood, experimentation, eating them with no regard whatsoever as to the means and end result of having something on your plate that has been a living breathing entity and has ultimately died, given up it's life involuntarily, to provide something on a plate right there in front of you, which you absolutely know not to even have been killed in a humane way. ?
Tell me- if you dare! But I'm warning you right now, do not put any sick videos up or I will destroy YOU
this is horrible and all, but the shit I saw at the "fresh market" here in Chengdu would turn anyone off eating animals
at least for a while
