THIS IS DISGUSTING, WHO NEEDS TO SEE THE HORRIBLE PICTURES TO KNOW THAT THIS IS INHUMANE, UNETHICAL, BARBARIC AND DISGUSTING. IT HAS TO BE STOPPED. THERE IS NO EXCUSS OR JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS HORROR AND CRUELITY.

I have always found this disturbing. You would have to have a black heart to do this. I don't see how these scumbags sleep at night. Thanks Cher.

Thank you Cher - I also find this extremely disturbing. I don't agree with experimentation on ANY animals at all, and as such have stopped purchasing anything from any company who tests their products on animals. So very sad. These are living sentient thinking feeling creatures, what gives us, as human beings, the right to torture and kill other animals.

No, it's not ethical. As a society we need to get to the root cause of most of our problems. Like most root causes, it's big and fairly simple - benefits and rewards are totally divorced from pain, suffering, hard work, and sacrifice. If humans want the benefits of medical and pharmacological research, we should be the subjects of that research. People who want to take risks with money (investment bankers) should be using their own money. People who do damage should pay the penalty. Insurance companies who cause deaths by denying coverage to paying customers should face criminal charges based on reckless disregard and depraved indifference. We pay huge salaries to people who behave in abominable ways, pay huge bonuses to people who gamble with our monetary system, and re-elect people who sell us out to keep the campaign contributions coming. We continue to patronize businesses that use our payments and money to lobby against us in our own government. And, finally, we torture and kill other species in a vain attempt to get medical research and treatments at no cost to ourselves. And that research doesn't even work. Please see an earlier story about the dangers of using animal testing as a basis for human treatments: http://www.care2.com/news/member/587964436/1242662. We've handed our souls to the devil. We must rejoin consequences to behaviors and outcomes.

I can not bear to look at these pictures. I am pissed off and sick to death of cruel so called people gggrrr :( I would like to "treat" these morons to a dose of the pain that they inflict upon others. Noted with anger, sadness, shame and pain.

Thank you as always dear Cher :)

Of course not... it is forcing an animal against its will to do things which are cruel, abusive and very painful... Putting them through a life of misery to in a confined cage...

Actually, Joycey: I think that you would have to have NO heart.

Thanx Cher but this article is preaching to the converted. I suspect that most of us would happily exchange the experimenter with the monkey.

THIS realy shows a humans mantality in this day and age this is cruel and it has to be stoped NOW

Not much progress has been made since 1875 when the first organization founded to protest animal experimentation, the Society for the Protection of Animals Liable to Vivisection, started in England. (In 1897 its name was changed to the National Antivivisection Society.) By 1876 England's Parliament had passed the first national antivivisection law, the Cruelty to Animals Act. The law covered only vertebrate animals (mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and amphibians), with more restrictive provisions on the use of donkeys, horses, mules, dogs, and cats. The law required all experimenters to have permits, and it established guidelines for the kinds of experiments and the way they were performed.

I've never thought it was ethical, and still don't. This picture is just sickening. I remember one school lab doing frogs and how a few students, even back then took their punsihment for not dissecting.

I would always be 'sick' on those days Mandi!!! :)

Wednesday September 16, 2009, 6:51 pm
How can anyone post that picture and STILL ask the question? Insensitive, stupid clods.

No experimentation on any animal is ethical nor is it necessary. Vivisectors have absolutely no concept of suffering and no conscience about what they do. They are true psychopaths of science. Don't believe it when they say that they partake in vivisection unwillingly and in our best interests, thats bullshit! They are sadists they get a buzz out of it. They should be put down like the animals they inflict misery on for society's sake.

JennyLynn has pretty much said it all. Mandi, I was one of those in junior high school that took my punishment - I refused to even watch. Before my husband died from Lung and bone cancer a few years ago, he asked me to never stop fighting for the animals. He truely believed just like me, that if research had been done on humans instead of other animals - he may have been able to live. He became a study in the oncology department whereas to hopefully someday be able to go in a drug store and be checked something like having your blood pressure checked. The invasive procedures being done are just plain 'ol unnessary and sadistic. When I emailed a pharmacutical company I received a response of " the FDA requires us to test on 2 seperate animals before a drug can be approved". The FDA needs to get their sh#t together and begin requiring the proper testing. We all have "cells" readily available.

OMG!!!!! HELL NO!!!!!!!!!! NO NO NO NO NOMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thursday September 17, 2009, 2:07 am
NO, NO, NO... how on earth can anyone say torture is ethical.

Thursday September 17, 2009, 7:50 am
Medical research is what they call it. And what is the medical world without the pharmaceutical companies?

Thursday September 17, 2009, 12:59 pm
Not only is it unethical, it is cruel and inhumane. Animals have the same feelings that we have both physically and emotionally. They cannot express themselves verbally but can bleed and scream. What have we accomplished by doing this?

If we must experiment, ask people to volunteer to pay them to do so. I am sure there will be some that will be happy to oblige.

Thursday September 17, 2009, 6:34 pm
This absolutely disgusting how could anybody do this to any animal!!!
