Controversial Oxford Animal Lab

those are some sad eyes. this is a matter of civil rights yet to be recognized as such by the general public.

Also, the guy in the second video, promoting animal research, saying "all you have to do is ask someone with disease...", while I understand his concern, is being selfish and not taking other lives into consideration.

What if I said to him, "I know a lot of people oppose experiments on blacks in the military on syphilis, in which they were given the disease to watch it progress until they died. But, all you have to do is talk to someone who has had syphilis to understand the necessity."

Or, what if I said to him "I know a lot of people oppose experiments on Jews in concentration camps to understand depression. But, all you have to do is talk to a depressed and suicidal person to understand the necessity."

Both of those things happened and both were outlawed because they were plain wrong. Did we learn from them? Absolutely. Did science benefit from them? Sure did. Do we have treatments because of them? Yep. But, does that mean it was in any way justified? Ask yourselves that question.

I say no. Torturing and destroying billions of lives for the sake of some others is not justified. It's plain irrational.

animal testing is just plain wrong. why don't you strap a man/women with the disease to a chair and test it on them, they are the ones needing the cure.

I agree - animal lab testing is unneccesary and unethical! Shame on Oxford!

92% of things proven safe and effective in animals are proven unsafe and ineffective in humans. Of the 8% that make it to the market, half are recalled later.

Millions of nonhuman animals die per year for animal research and that's just what is reported. Humans also often die because of nonhuman animal testing. More people are killed by pharmaceutical drugs than they are by illegal drugs.

So, if people don't care about the ethical horrors and abuse of animal testing, they should care about the fact that there is little rational basis for it except for vivisectors making money as well as pharmaceutical financial gain.

There are alternatives to animal testing such as human cell cultures that are far more accurate, less expensive, and more ethical. Animal testing labs need to stop.

Yes I realize it is research.... but c'mon.... there must be some type of guilt these people feel for doing this.

I just can't wrap my mind around animal experimentation. I find it extremely cruel.
