My mums boyfriend used to do that, it's easy money cos at the end of the day they're drugs that have been developed by qualified professionals who know what they're doing - if there was any chance of a serious adverse reaction they wouldn't allow it for testing.

[Sidders]

Probably tested on animals first as well.

[MK Chris]

Yeah that too. Don't know why people are so against the Huntingdon Life Sciences thing, I'm grateful for animal testing cos I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the medication that saved my grandads life when he was born being tested on animals.

Let me give you a good image for the rest of the day.

Imagine your pet dog, for example a cute looking Beagle - having its skull opened and being pumped full of nice chemicals - whilst still being alive.



Have you not seen those people asking in the street to sign their forms against HLS? Its wrong..

good my computer couldnt load that picture quick--not the kinda thing i would like to look at judging by

[Adam]

Nothing bad about the image. Its just some women carrying a Beagle...

[Sidders]

I neither agree with it nor disagree with it.

I bet Dave never thought he'd start a debate about vivisection when he turned up...

[kendra k]

vivesestion needs to stop now.

i've protested against it for years.

i'm such a good little vegan.

It's not like they run around stealing pet dogs to test stuff on then sending them back to their owner is it. How'd you suggest we test stuff then?

(I'm not including me in the 'we', I have contributed nothing to animal testing. I also don't have a pet beagle)

Regardless if they are pets or just animals, they shouldn't be tested on. Do a google search on Huntington Life Sciences and I'm sure you'll be shocked by some of the pictures.

Always read the small print

I probably would be shocked if they were bad pictures, but it doesn't mean I want it to stop. I'd rather aniamls be tested on than humans.

[Adam]

People have different views on the whole thing. I'm not aware of any other ways of testing. Its kinda catch 22 really. Kill one life to save another.

[Hattie]

I think most people disagree with animal testing for cosmetic uses. Allthough most people would still say its wrong and then buy cosmetic products which have been tested on animals anway.

[kendra k]

i don't, but then again i'm not the average person.

i understand that animal testing may be necessary at some stage, but often they just do cruel things to animals because animals aren't viewed as valuable as humans. that's utter crap. who are we to determine such things? pictures of monkeys with open skulls and electrodes on the brain are horrible.

take this for what it is though- i'm somebody who hates any form of aggression against another living being. it's why i'm vegan. it's why i don't wear wool or leather. and it's why i don't want to preach to you all anymore.
