How do you feel about animal testing?!
I feel like its nescessary, no matter how terrible for the animal it is!. If we didn't sacrifice some animals, then we wouldn't have near as many treatments for medical emergencies that we have today!.
I am however against animal testing for cosmetics!. Like shampoo, soap, that sort fo thing!. That is completely unneccessary and can be done on people!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
Like you I am totally opposed to animal testing for frivolous and unnecessary things like cosmetics!.
Genuine medical research is a different and more difficult issue than testing unnecessary products on animals, and either saying that you are completely against it or that you wouldn't accept drugs tested on animals is to ignore a number of important issues!.
I value human life way, way over animal life, and much as I wish there were alternatives to animal testing I'm not convinced that there are credible and reliable alternative ways to test many drugs and procedures!. Sometimes we have to consider the lesser of two evils!. Just saying 'I'm against animal testing' is too simplistic and naive!.
I am vegan, and I would probably not be alive today if not for drugs and procedures that had, by law,been tested on animals!. I don't believe anyone who says that if it were them, or their spouse or parent or child, they would take death rather than accept medical procedures which had been tested on animals!.
Last week I asked whether people would accept animal-tested drugs if they had a life-threatening illness or accident, or if their child did!.
I had some very good answers; I was hoping for answers from people who say, whenever the question of animal testing comes up, that they are against all animal testing!. None of them answered my question, however!.
I wish medicines weren't tested on animals!. But I'm willing to bet that anyone who says they'd never take such drugs has never been seriously ill or involved in a serious accident!. In other words have never been in a life or death situation!.
Being vegan means doing all you can and the best you can to minimise your contribution to animal suffering and exploitation!. Sacrificing your life or your health is not required!. Refusing drugs when your life is in danger is psychotic, not vegan or vegetarian!.
I find the suggestions of testing on unwilling human beings chilling; it's very disturbing that such suggestions are always made on here when this subject comes up
Incidentally not all medical research is done on animals!. Drugs have to be tested on humans too, and people with serious ilnesses take part in clinical trials all the time!.
A doctor who contributes to the YA Cancer forum wrote about people with end stage cancer who volunteer for phase one trials of new drugs!. Phase one means the toxicity, efficacy, or the correct dosage for humans is not known!. But people sign consent forms because they know that even though it may well not help them, it may be a help to someone else later on!.
A moving and humbling example of the heroism and unselfishness of which humans are capableWww@FoodAQ@Com

I feel that there is no other way to progress medically without making sacrifices!. Trial and error claims so many lives, but i'm sure it's somewhere around the same amount of lives that would be lost with natural selection!.
I can't say I'm for it, because a lot of the animals suffer for the unnecessary luxury of humans!. I can't say that I'm against it either, because if it weren't for medicine many people would not be alive!. People who others depend on emotionally, financially, psycologically, etc!.
Even though living with loss makes us stronger, preserving life is a human desire that will never be extinguished!. It's either this or cloning!. We've got to make a choice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hi Shelby :)
I hate cosmetic animal testing!. we already have enough brands of shampoo, make up, nail polishes, all those other beauty products!. We dont need to kill 5 million animals for a new brand!.
On medicines to find cures - I am against that too!. We should let animals stay alive since they are helping us stay alive!. :) If there were no animals, we wouldn't be here :(Www@FoodAQ@Com

Im completely against it!.
There is no legitiment reason, other techniques can be used!. They can take a virus cell and treat it with a new chemical they have found, and see if it is cured!. Not give the virus to an animal then use the mediciane to see if it works!. And if it doesn't, they just let the animal die!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I do not think that it is right to do to a animal!. It is very cruel!. Would you like it if another person did it to you!.

There are many, many cruel and inhumane experiments done on live animals that are absolutely unnecessary!. It is called vivisection!. There are alternative methods that can be utilized but haven't becuase of various reasons!. I believe those alternative methods must be the first line of experimentation and that animals only be used as a last and only resort!.

i agree that it is wrong to test cosmetics on animals,
but there are worse of reasons for animal deaths!.
in many countries, animals are just killed for no reason!.
sure, testing on animals is wrong, but deliberatly killing them is even worse, you know!?
maybe you should address that issue as well if you decide to take action!.
all i have to say is research this sort of thing!.
fight for your cause!.
i'll be signing your petition if you feel that that's the best way!.

I don't like animal testing, but if I were to say I am completely against it, I would be a hypocrite!.
I take 10 mg of warfarin (rat poison) every day to keep me alive!. My father is alive because he has a bovine heart valve!.
Do I wish there were another way!? Of course!. But hell yeah, I value my own life more than I do a rat's life!. And I value my father's life more than I do a cow's life!.
Who amongst you could look your father in the eyes and tell him that you'd rather he died than a cow!? Cause that's some cold, cold sh!t, man!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I wont use cosmetics and stuff if it's tested on animals!.!.!. but if I'm ill, and there is no alternative, I will use medicines that obviously have to be tested on animals!. So if these medicines save lives, however cruel it sounds, it's worth it in my opinion!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Well I think it's cruel and not nessary to hurt the animals on that!. They should test on crimals and rapist they have a death sentence so why not!? I have not gave up all makeup yet but I am a vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I agree with you completely!. It's a nessesary evil!. Now watch as this post gets thumbs down and people call you a horrible evil person!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I think they should make prisoners the test subjects--the ones who have no chance of ever getting out!.
At least their lives would do some good!Www@FoodAQ@Com
