I dont think it should be done. I know its so that they can test products before humans use them, but sometimes the products kill the animals, or cause a sever mutation. i just dont think its right...

Yeah i think we have enough information that we should know what is and is not good for us. . . .and if we're not sure, then don't do it! lol

i think that it is very wrong to test on animals. i am probably one of the biggest animal loves there is around. i only buy products that specificly say on the back that it was not tested on animals. i think that its just wrong to test their experaments on the animals. just think of all the innocent animals that die just as a test object. its wrong. and really the only reason why scientes do it is beacuse they are readily 'avalible' and they think that "oh, its just a stupid bunny, who cares?" well, actually a lot of us do!

There are thing that are necessary and things that are not. There are things we should do and things we should not. The problem is where to draw the line. We as a race have lost sight of that. There is good science and bad science. If no testing was done for the illnesses we have ended we would still have them. Many people with AIDS are still living productive lives because of non-human testing. Many animals are dead because of useless testing that was never needed. Write your congressman and complaine. Get on-line and tell your President, he is listening. Don't just chat about it here, take it to the top. Go for it, as your voice is needed. A green-witch....Midnight

I have to agree with every1, of course. due to my past as a child and having to watch my dog die in my arms due to my step dad beating her. i tend to feel for these animals and even when hearing of one on the news being abused and such i tend to. weak i guess, send tears down my cheek. I hate when this happens, all these poor animals being tested for no apparent good reason. what these so called men and women of science fail to realize is that when they do this, they arent only killing these creatures, but killing off a soul that has been born into society for love, compassion and nurture.
unlike many peoples debates about whether its necessary or not for this, i find it to be totally cruel and barbaric for this sort of event to happen. these animals suffer on a day to day basis, they are dieing more and more everytime they test this crap on them and its not only wrong, but inhumane, indecent and utterly rediculous that most would argue that this is what needs to be done or this is totally necessary for us to survive

I think it's difficult.
Of course, when you see pictures of animals being tested, it looks terrible and you suffer with the poor ones. And you just can't help but scream "stop it!".
And yes, a lot of those experimentations brought nothing, but pain or death to the animals. I mean there are THESE and there are THOSE experiments... and some may really not be neccesary or productive...
On the other hand, other experiments were productive. If they were necessary is another discussion - maybe there would have been another way to get to the medicine level we have today - but so far that's the way human kind knows.
Look at how much medicine we have right now to help humans AND animals.
Maybe about, let say 10 animals died in an experiment, by which they found a way to produce a medicine, that nowadays has given 1000 dogs or cats a longer life.
Of course, it was no right to just take them, give them this and that and let them die, since you didn't have their permission (uneasy to get, I know, but I'd guess if the animals could speak they'd negate).
But, you know, e.g. what if your grandma was about to die, and scientists could produce a medicin for her, so she'd live 10 years more, but the'd have to test on 5 rats. What would you do?
I mean of course no one would say that like this but...
It's just... would you rather accept that 20 years ago 30 rats died by experiments and therefore, today, your ill grandma can be saved her life for another 10 years? Or maybe your dog for another 5 years?
I just don't think it's that easy. Personally I'm not a fan of rats, but I also don't think they should suffer...
I honestly think that's a very difficult topic!
Because in first line, I'd agree. Say it's wrong to let innocent animals suffer.
But what if my cute puppy suffer's and the experiment on a rat could save him in the end?
Who'd you choose? The puppy you love or some innocent rat...

I completly agree but what about cloning tests, gene manipulation and hybridization tests. Shure they might be harmless but is it right. For example a scientist manipulated a chick's genes giving it a lizard like tail just to show that they evolved from reptiles. Was that really worth it? |

Well, with regard to gene manipulation I'd more likely say its not neccessary.
I don't really know in which way scientists "optimize" our food, but it's frightening me pretty much.
Since there's living creatures they've been always been perfectly fine with natural food. Humans same as animals. Why change that?
Some scientists say they could produce more food and therefore could help the Third World, but others say there already is enough food, it's just no evenly spread.
But noone's sure about the consequences, and once you put an gene manipulated viand out there, it can't be taken back.
And about the gene manipulation on animals: I think that's definitely going too far. Nature know what it does. If chicken don't have lizard like tails, there's a reason for it.
I mean if chickens would say "hey, I want a tail, give me one" - fine. ^^
But they just don't.
