No, this is not about fur, or wool or anything like that.
Its about science. Many of you have had to dissect several creatures for bio class, most likely. Today I had to do the frog ringer lab, where a frog has its brain removed (is it really dead?) and then we have to dissect it and add chemicals to its heart to see what happens, then add a third one that will kill it. Now I ask. Despite the fact that many of those animals are bred for that purpose, "to further science", should we use animals as dissection subjects? Or should we just make plastic models and the such? Is it animal cruelty to breed animals for the purpose of being cut up by students just to learn? |

I don't think you should do anything to "animals" what you wouldn't do to humans.
Would you drench a premature baby in formaldehyde, cut it open, and see what spills out? The pomposity of humans. |

Well, maybe not cut them open, but they already do drench premature babies in formaldehyde and keep them for display. I've seen a couple. What about that? |
