I’m sorry, but there is no scientific rationale for completely abolishing animal studies. As a scientist—who loves animals to the point where I will not kill a spider or insect in my house, but instead capture them and put them outside—I am horrified by the prospect of eliminating animal studies. That would pretty much stop medical research in its tracks.
I have to wonder what an animal-rights activist is doing posting on a conservative forum.
I don’t love animal testing and I’m glad there are other means of testing many things. However, some things still require it.
