PETA is a quasi-domestic terrorist organization. Right up there with ELF.

I don't care, and I think that's bullshit anyway. I don't believe in using and torturing animals for the benefit of people. And it's completely untrue that medicine would not have progressed without animal research. Animals have COMPLETELY DIFFERENT biology than humans, so a lot of the research is useless on people. Animals are living, breathing creatures, with feelings. They feel pain. Why is it OK to use an animal for research, but not people? Any research that is for the sake of people should be done on people.

Wow, really? Do you really believe that or are you just stirring?

yes, I really believe that. It is morally wrong to torture animals in order to benefit people. There are too many people on the planet as it is.

And, there ARE other ways to do research that are effective. There really is no need to abuse animals the way some researchers do. Do you know what goes on in some labs? Seriously. Would you think it was OK to subject people to those experiments?
