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? |

People are saying that we don't dissect until animals dead, completely untrue. Many animals are tested on while they're awake, without any anesthesia. I think it is animal cruelty because animals cannot defend themselves and are tested on involuntarily. Why not test on humans? many people donate their bodies when they die for science to test on and dissect. After all, we are trying to get further knowledge for science for our human kind so why torture the animals for ourselves?
