Reply #81: Withour animal testing, few medical afvances would ever have been made [View All]

I wonder if those opposed to it would like to go back to medieval days before any sort of scientific progress was made: most kids died before age 5 and most people did not live very long. Life was nasty and short.

Now, I think there are ways of minimizing cruelty and I have never seen the point of animal testing for such vanity products as cosmetics, yet there is a place for animal testing, especially in medicine.

Of course those people have a right to their opinion and to express it, but basically they are saying "We would prefer your sick kinds to die rather than find a cure, if it means testing on animals."
