: ***yeah, i consider being locking in a cage 24 hours a day while weird people poke, probe, and inject crap into be a VERY comfortable life!!

Now was I suggesting this? I hope your argument hasnt collapsed into emotive arguments at this early stage.

: ***and then we go back to that old saying
: "The ends justify the means" lets see if that'll hold in a court of law.."oh, mr judge, i know i robbed a bank and killed two people but i got rich out of that which then allowed me to send my kids to college (etc) isnt' that ok?"

I can sense great hostility in this post, are you going to convince me of anything in this manner? No. Are going to piss me off and leave me even less sympathetic to your cause? Yes you are.

: ***usually people who are against testing are against any form of cruelty....duh!

Glad to hear it....duh! Because count the amount of anti-test posts in here and then the amount of anti-foxhunting, anti-general cruelty posts etc. Now would there be an imbalance there? Why would that be if they these concerns all carry equal weight?

: animal's can feel just like humans, they were not put on this earth for our every whim...do some research and find out for yourself, but please go in with an open mind and realize that every creature has the right to life

I never denied any of this you are make assumptions about my position, I dont think they are here for our whims, if I did I'd think cosmetic research etc. was perfectly alright but if the survival of the human race is at stake, as in medical testing, I can get my priorities straight.

: "In my mind, the life of a lamb is just as precious as the life of man. I should be unwilling to take the life of the lamb for man. I believe that the more helpless the creature, the more entitled it is to protection from man from the cruelty of man"
