Thank You SOO..good on you.

The choices are simple.

These animals can be sedated and teach life saving techniques to new surgeons.

They are then euthanized and cremated.

If you "save" them, they go straight to a slaughterhouse.

Which death do you think is more humane?

It's not like your stopping the death of any animals, just changing how it will happen.

Like it or not it is fact.

Another disgusting lab. this horror has to stop.

bill C you may feel using living animals for research is ok but no animal should have to suffer this horror. the slaughterhouses are disgusting enough but to use animals for research, training or experiements is cruel, inhumand and barbaric.

Bill we appreciate that you find it that simple, but it's actually far more simple than that. If you wouldn't take advantage of a human life in such a manner, we need to ensure that animals are given this same respect. We feel that one can't make change with the “what is worse” attitude. And using animals for experimentation and training, when in fact far more efficient, humane, and effective tools are readily available, is plain wrong to us. As always, thanks for speaking out. We always appreciate those who voice their opinion.

THIS ONE IS FOR BILL C - SOME OF YOU HAVE READ IT AND SOME NOT - THIS IS WHAT I THINK ABOUT LAB ANIMALS ANS SLAUGHTERING.

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY – CRUELTY

I am writing this letter not because I am a scientist or an intellect or a graduate. This is from an average human being from the bottom of my heart.

Mother earth and her inhabitants, humans and animals share this beauty of nature together and the ultimate aim is to live with her in peace and harmony where cruelty is not suppose to be part of it. People have altered it all.

What a shame that we as humans can face the cruel treatment of animals, whether it is in the laboratory, companies, factories, Circuses, Zoos, Puppy mills or individual torturing of animals, wild and domesticated.

Animals in the laboratories are being tortured and killed in the name of science for the welfare of the human being. Who are we to decide that it is all in order to do cruel tests on these animals, when they scream and try to escape from the danger they find themselves in. They use body language to communicate with the scientist and the abusive person, yet we fail to recognize the cruelty behind this. It is not natural for any animal to be put through trauma deliberately. This earth is their planet too. Looking at nature and unhampered wilderness, I tend to think that this earth is their territory in the first place. We as humans have invaded their space to make way for technology and industries. Technology has put us in a dwindling spiral and thus the reason all the conflict between nations, let alone the animals that have to suffer due to our unethical behavior.

Ironically, we are so dependant on animals for our survival. Humans fear old age, illness and death and justify the cruel experiments on animals. For how many years should man be the beast and behave like the beast and keep torturing animals that any scientist can see is endless suffering. How does a scientist go home and treat his family with passion and yet the other side of him is non caring towards other forms of life. How can he watch an animal being clamped from head to toe and observe the fear, kicking and “pleading for mercy”. How can he look at the pain and turn his head and have no remorse for his actions towards an animal that experience the same pain as any human.
Has scientist not gathered enough information and written libraries full of books of all the tests being administered on animals?

Scientists are still testing for the cure of cancer and aids and many other illnesses. They want to find a cure for all the illness and a tablet to curb old age. What for? We all have to complete the cycle of life. We all have to “depart” one day and make space for the new. It is the natural order of all living things, exactly like the weather pattern. Start educating humans to live a life of ethical and moral standards and see the Aids decline. Teach humans to wash their hands and see cholera decline. We regard ourselves as the higher species and yet we can not obey the basic rules in life. It is time we look at the behavior of animals and their self discipline. They can teach us plenty about pride and dignity.

Is it not perhaps fame that drives the scientist towards these deeds? Are these tests truly for the human survival? At a new discovery in the lab, the scientist name is on all the billboards, the media coverage and most probably the Nobel price too. Yes, the wealth speaks for it self. Do you want to see real trauma? Ask any very wealthy person to contribute towards charity and observe the devastating pain on his face. He regards his bank balance far more superior than life itself. Humans will do anything to hold on to their status which is so important for his survival. Greed has surpassed humanity………..

Mans best weapon is his reasoning. We have used it and we have abused it and then we go up in arms because this planet is not a safe place to live in anymore. Cruelty has increased. Crime has increased. Illness is taking lives of young people. Corruption has increased. All this is due to the sad behavior of people that call themselves human.

What scientist can do is start experimenting on humans and try to find out why some are so cruel and evil and only a handful show dignity towards our planet and our animals. Why am I different than the cruel and evil person? Don’t test on animals to find out why humans have lost the plot! Humanity is on the endangered list and people became used to the idea of being barbaric. The barbaric gene has invaded the human body and filled the cavity of humanity. We have lost our dignity, our ethics, our honesty, our principles and moral standards. What is left ………nothing. We are empty vessels!

Some will read this letter and grin and think that I am insane. Yes, it maybe so, but my insanity has not harmed you. My insanity has not robbed the bank. My insanity has not car jacked you. My insanity has not raped or murdered your family or friends. My insanity has not stolen your purse……..
