Why biomedical research IS important to Humans and Animals

I am in the minority when I try to comment on some posts regarding animals in research. I understand where people are coming from. I never thought I would work in biomedical research. The field is vast and opportunities are endless. I also have many pets of my own. My entire day is surrounded by animals. The argument asking if I would submit my animals to research is absurd. My animals (those who qualify) are in various studies. They go into the hospital in the morning and come home at night. I have some that are blood donors too. There feline urinary studies where people relinquish verses euthanizing, there cat that is peeing where it is not supposed to. Those cats were saved from being put down. Now I know there are other types of research that involve primates and various other animals and some research is "targeted" toward human benefits BUT, all research is beneficial.

I know this isn't news to anyone but I am simply trying to connect to others out there like me.

Please take the time to look into the link above. See some of the studies they have sponsored and think how this research has helped saved or extended the lives of one of your animals.

    • i think animal research is fine as long as it is humane and for medical research only, not for testing shampoo and other unnessesary comodities .

    • This is some light reading on the Animal Welfare Act.
      What Al has posted are videos that are rare. I personally have never witnessed the cruelty he has displayed for everyone hear. I can not speak for everyone in research but I can speak up with my one voice.

    • Seriously AL, I get your point. You hate me and everything I do. I am just tired of seeing your propaganda. I am just trying to introduce new thoughts into the current community.
