Animal Testing

For those of you out there who are appalled by the idea of animal testing, be it a rodent or an insect, you need to take a step back and realize why it is being done. I understand that it sucks that these animals are being elected without a choice to go on our human conquest for human better living, but would you rather regress or progress medically?

I for one like the idea of using mice and rats for preliminary testing before moving on to humans. However there are very strange anti-human humans out there, misanthropists, that seem to care more about saving kitties and rabbits than they do their own species. I am disgusted with these people. I understand that some humans are awful terrible people, I complain about it regularly, but I will not damn everyone for the misdeeds of just a few people. People suck, but not everyone does.

When is the last time you heard of a cat or rabbit saving your skin instead of their own? Right! Never! Okay now that we have established that cats and rabbits don't care much about their owners, then why do we care too much about testing on them. Well I for one don't care, we eat them, they die earlier than us and they are easily reproduced - if the tables were turned then they would be doing the same thing to us.

The point is, in order to make advancements, sacrifices are necessary, the moral cost of some rats is a lot cheaper than that of a human. So yes it sucks and it is wrong, but it is a necessary evil so get over it.
