I take it you've never knowingly harmed a fly/spider/moth or anything like that in any way?

Do you consider yourself on a par with pond life?
again in the grand scheme of things.The same people who are furious with people killing elephants and Rhino's will happily kill a harmelss spider when it runs across their livingroom. Animal testing is wrong IMO but I understand that it has saved lives. I like to remain oblivious to it.
Nope.. Takes 30 seconds to remove them from the house without any bother.

Should ban it outright for everything IMHO.

I'm sure they would do the same if a rhino ran across their livingroom

By containing carcinogens.
Bad idea, what happens if the pile cream they're testing ends up giving a criminal super strength.
You haven't thought this through man.

How do you remove a fly from your house in 30 seconds in a harmless manner mate?
Genuinely interested here.

Great film
think of all them poor flys dying when you're driving along. Same as plowing into a crowd of pedestrians I suppose.

Medicines / medical advances yes. Cosmetics no.

Genuine question..
If we can test things on chimps in the name of medical science then why cant we do it on humans? Is it because a chimp cant say no?

this
cosmetics can get fucked
medicine needs to be explored for the greater good
if people are willing to volunteer to take the place of the chimp then they can crack on
people who say they are against animal testing on animals but are happy to use the end result...wrong uns

Because, generally speaking, we value human life above animal life. We'd rather an animal died than a human. I can understand people not liking that but that's the reason we often test on animals first (pre-clinical trials) before moving onto human testing (Phase 0 to Phase IV).

The moment we controlled the rest of the world. We call the shots as the alpha species.
I’m for animal testing and I’m for human testing. At least the humans can be paid or rewarded for volunteering, the animal has no choice

It’s a good point. The majority of animals used in medical testing are fruit flies and nematode worms.
Then zebrafish are another major one.
Most would think nothing of swatting a fly in their house or guzzling a cod on a Friday night despite not needing to for survival.
The medical community would have a problem given the total lack of control you have over testing on people who have lived to adulthood in totally unknown circumstances.
That’s why it’s a totally f***ing stupid idea, before the human rights issues come into play.

Why did the vegan cross the road?
So she could tell you she's a vegan.
