Each year, in the name of national security and good medicine, 8500 animals get stabbed, shot, burned and amputated. Over in the chemical casualty program, vervet monkeys get tormented with drugs whose effects have long since been banned on the field of

I totally agree with AnimalSpirit M. Why can't they test on something other than animals? God did not create animals to be used as test strips. Thnx Cher, heart breakingly noted. =(

OMG Cher - that picture on the link! Think I'm going to be sick now. This is just horrific. No wonder the military has no respect for life - if they can do this the next logical step is to harm a human being. And the article clearly states there are alternatives to all these tests - no animals required! So why do they do it? Have they been de-humanized, de-sensitized? You bet.

Very interesting link on this article. A Muslim's take on: Do not want animals to be 'electrocuted' before slaughter, saying the animal's blood congeals and it is not healthy meat thereafter. So the alternative is to slit the throat while the animal is still alive, to allow it to bleed out... Ends the post with a quote from some scripture (I think) and states there is no excuse for cruelty to animals.

Jeepers, electrocution or bleeding to death? Where is the difference.

B l o o d y moron!!

Im a muslim and when muslims slaughter animals, the quickest method is to cut open its throat, however, its supposed to be done in a particular manner that leads to the animal dieing in the quickest, least-painful way. Electrocution, be-heading and other methods are more painful, if you bear in mind for example, if an animal is be-headed, it might take the slaughterer a period of time until he gets it right, and until he does, the animal suffers

There is no such thing as 'least-painful' way. Slaughtering for the sake of one's taste buds is an abomination.
GO VEGAN folks, and put an end to animal suffering.

Death is death, and as much as we humans want to live, likewise for the sentient animals.
