One would think that the company that paid her deserved her best effort to prevent cruelty. If the best that she can come up with is a few cuss words by technicians, they are doing pretty well.
I would love to hear her recommendation for what is to replace animal experiments. Usually that has something to do with testing medicine on humans, or not trying to make medical progress.
Fact. Primates tend to be biologically similar to humans. If you are doing genetics, you use a fruit fly because it is a great model (it has unusually large chromosomes that are visible under the microscope). If you are doing research on the eye, you use the Octopus, because it has unusually large optical structures. If you are looking at potential reaction of humans to drugs, primate testing is one step that you ethically have to consider. It is not gratuious cruelty, but it may be painful. We try to cut the pain to a minimum, but we will save human lives.
Along the way, we also develop medicines that are useful to treat primate diseases. We benefit from the primate testing, and the primates develop from human efforts to develop medicines.
Is it true that abandoned animals taken to PETA are immediately killed and not put up for adoption? If that is so, we need more feature stories on their animal genocide.
I think animals should be treated well, but we have no concern as a nation for the unborn. A child molester is something to joke about, especially when he is a celebrity.
The technicians should be taught how to properly treat the animals in their care. They should not be treated roughly, cursed at, nor should they be left in their cages while the cages are hosed down. Their lives should be made as pleasant as possible. After all, they are valuable and they are doing humanity a great service. Also, they are living, breathing creatures belonging to God, just as we are.
