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? |

oh yes. it's so cruel. i mean, helping propogate the species is soo cruel. wow. if it were between me and the animal, i'd SOOO want you to pick the animal. because the animals are Cute and Fluffy? i don't CARE that the LION won't care i'm a vegan. I'll go try to free it. What? but i'm nice to animals... why is the lion coming at me that way? why is the lion eating me? ahh. Why is the lion propogating it's life and species? i was NICE to it... i didn't eat it...
LIFE's not FAIR. ANIMALS get the short end of the stick. i mean, if some other animal were in charge of the world, i'm SURE they'd let themselves die out so we could take over. i mean, it's not like it's NATURAL to want to propogate your own species... 1. Food is food. Humans are Humans. Humans are omnivores. Humans need to eat meat. Humans have the teeth to eat meat. Animals are meat. Humans eat animals. It's the circle of life, it's the way things are. It's life. 2. Animals are Animals. Humans are humans. I value human life more. So do you. trust me. you value your own life (a human's by the way. i hope.) more than any animal. Between yourself and an animal, you'd choose the animal. Don't kid yourself. You're alive. which means you chose yourself. 3. Dissections are needed for expirence. Plastic can only go so far. I disected a cat for Human Anatomy and Physiology. I learn a lot more than the three-d models and 2-d pictures taught me. Plastic models are expensive. They'd be single use too. Economically, it can't be done (replacing dissections with plastic models). To replicate an animal exactly, that's still not possible. We, Humans, even disect ourselves becasue there is no alternative. |
