I think animal testing is kind of necessary. I don't like it, but I depend on it.
>>People DO complain about plants being killed.<<
Hmm....an interesting point, but can you come up with an example?
>>Bacteria and fungi are different, because we don't purposely do discusting and painful things to them. <<
Do they actually feel pain at all? We experiment on bacteria a lot too.
>> I don't have a problem eating meat, because that is what life is meant to do. <<
I'm not sure what you mean by that, but have you seen what they do to animals in slaughtehouses? I don't think that would be worse than sticking a needle through an animal's ear.
>>There are other alternatives. <<
Such as? For some things perhaps, but not for everything.

^^ Ditto. I don't care what anyone says, but some things can not compare to the real thing. Take for instance that frog dissection software. What are you getting out of that? You move the mouse around, punch a few keys, and that's all. When you actually do it, it isn't as bad as some people make it out to be, and it's neat finding out every thing that is inside the frog and what it makes it tick.
I'm sorry, but what alternatives to animal testing are there? Until I see a line of people who are going in there to be guinea pigs (and I want the people who are saying we shouldn't experiment on animals in that line as well), then we need to have testing. I am not going to trust a medication that has only been run through a machine that says it is ok. That's absurd.

Oh my gosh, if it's tested on animals, I despise it unless I'm buying food for my pets. ~jenn

>>People DO complain about plants being killed.<< Hmm....an interesting point, but can you come up with an example?>>> What about saving the trees, rainforests, recycling? This is besides the point but just an example. >>Bacteria and fungi are different, because we don't purposely do discusting and painful things to them. << Do they actually feel pain at all? We experiment on bacteria a lot too.>> In my opinion, bacteria and fungi are completely different than animals, so l'm not even going to try relating them.... >> I don't have a problem eating meat, because that is what life is meant to do. << I'm not sure what you mean by that, but have you seen what they do to animals in slaughtehouses? I don't think that would be worse than sticking a needle through an animal's ear.>>> I was saying, it is natural for us and other creatures to eat meat. I have a lot more respect for someone who goes and hunts the animal (to eat of course) rather then driving to McDonalds and buying a bigmac clueless of what animal died and what it went through for you to have that burger. Of course I am one of the people that goes and buys that burger, so I am contradicting myself here.... >>There are other alternatives. << Such as? For some things perhaps, but not for everything. >>> Here are some information on alternatives. www.peta.org/mc/facts/fsae8.htmlWhether or not they are effective as the actual animal, I don't know, but it has to be better then torturing millions of animals a year. The point I am trying to make, and I said it in another post, is that just because we are the most intellegent life on earth that does give us the right to ruin this entire earth.
