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? |

yes, but that's only cats from shelters. Some cats are found and tested on or bought. Iams (the dog food company) cuts up dog thighs until they're small slivers while they are alive and awake. Yes, humans are not animals but animals still have rights. They are tested on involuntarily and killed. It's OUR products we're testing on them and we're trying to get further knowledge for OURSELVES. So why do we test on animals that don't have to do with anything? Why do we get to say that our lives are more important than theirs?
