“So slaughtering kittens=bad, but slaughtering babies=good? Some people are just ghouls.”
Good point.
And the slaughtering part only applies to the babies.
Research animals are killed under scrutinized protocols to minimize pain and suffering.
Baloney. As an undergrad, I worked in the university's labs as a work study student. I witnessed some grad students drawing ALL the blood from a 100% conscious rabbit. Toward the end, the poor rabbit was screaming and thrashing around. Horribly upset, I asked them why they did not anesthetize it first, and they just muttered some rude put down remark to me. How is that adhering to any protocols to minimize pain and suffering?
