Accrington Web - View Single Post - A movement for Pro-animal testing?

Some animal testing is essential. The argument that what goes for animals doesn't go for people is not a valid one - we have been replacing heart valves in humans with pig heart valves for years, and that works well. I am an animal lover, but not a sentimentalist. I believe animals are there for our use, if the boot were on the other foot they would do the same. A hungry lion is not going to be troubled by conscience if it stumbles over me.

What makes me furious is that the animal rights bunch consider that the rights of animals are more important than the rights of humans. They should be refused treatment with any drugs tested on animals if they are ill or injured - that might make them think twice.
