I will now get flamed, but who cares?
I don’t approve of these violent acts.
Having said that, there are many “so called researchers” who make their fortunes off so called animal research. Not only are they often unethical and inhumane in their treatment of animals, but the research is often NOT NECESSARY.
Furthermore there is much animal research that is COUNTERPRODUCTIVE to the research we need for humans.
I donate to NAVS,( National anti-vivisection Society) a reputable pro ethical- animal research organization that is not violent and primarily is into educating people about ethical animal research.
There are two sides to this “animal research” issue. It is not an all or nothing case. The big problem with nutjobs like these people in the bombing is that they hurt the cause of true ethical animal research proponents.
Thanks for noting that. I fully agree, and if I’m not mistaken, much of the unnecessary ‘research’ is done to satisfy government regulations.
You won’t get flamed from me.
At the same time there is absolutely no excuse for violence against humans over supposed animal abuse. The ALF considers any use of animals for reseach as animal abuse and that’s just plain nuts. The majority of animals used at UC are mice, that’s what the firebombings in Santa Cruz were over.
You’re right, there are two sides to the story but the ALF are radical terrorists, IMO.
Most vaccines and many life-saving medicines were perfected through animal research.
They’re animals, they have no rights. BNow I love my dog, he’s a person with four paws and a tail ADFAIC, but this crap is ridiculous, as are you nutcases., (and people like who who put the life of a lab rat or monkey over saving thousands of humans’ lives are all nutbars, its just a matter of degree as to how far into the lunacy you descend.)
Flamed? Well I like it at FR and don’t wish to be banned, therefore I’ll refrain from telling you what I really think of your post and your odious abd putrid viewpoint.
