Animal Rights thread, haven't seen one of these in a while...
Okay, first, those pictures were sick and wrong and whoever did that too those poor critters should either (1) have it done to them, see how they like it or (2) be shot...then fired... Because that's just wrong, how the heck is it helping science? It isn't basically.
Testing on animals is a kind of delicate issue, I mean, I don't particularly like it, but as loads of others have said; testing for medicine that will save lives is a good thing (of course then the world gets over-populated because people aren't dying anymore... random observation there) But testing for cosmetics is a load of cock'n'bull.
Then again the radicals of Animal Rights aren't exactly giving themselves a decent rep, violence, deaths threats, attacking breeds of lab animals instead of the scientists... and just taking things too far.
For example, was it PETA who relased all the mink at this mink farm in the UK? Because that was one of the stupidest things they could have done, simply because of the fact that because they did that, the population of the considerably rarer water-rat (and some others I can't remember now - might have been otters but don't quote me) went down because of the sudden boom of mink in the area. So, in a nutshell the animal activists killed off a load of endangered animals by realesing the mink...not a smart move really...
