'Trying to prevent violence by causing it is not the way.'
Technically that's how the Suffragettes won a vote for the female population. They were called radicals and extremists. They were called dangerous and out of their mind. But they changed the future for the better.
Now, i'm not saying i support everything the PETA does. But they have a valid point. Yeh, they are a bit crazed and yes, we all would be a bit f*cked if we didn't test on animals but at the end of the day they're really not doing anybody else any major harm, are they?
It seems to me the PETA resemble Christians on a certain standpoint. Whereas PETA protest about the killing of animals and how inhumane it is and such. Showing violent images and video footage and attacking people who work there. Certain Christians dictate that Abortion is wrong. They say its murder and show foul footage of Foetus' and such like. Hanging around outside Abortion clinics, taking photographs of women who are, not only immensly stressed, but going to get Abortions. And it's not unheard of to see a Christian attacking an Abortion clinic Surgeon.
'Jacob, of all people I know you HATE groups that impose their way of thinking upon others.'
Yeh, i dislike it. And i think PETA bascially exploit tortured animals for their own means, much like the medical staff who work on them. But i also think it's completly out of order to call somebody weird when they are defending a modern day issue that is with us everyday. And then say they have gone over the top when they display their knowledge of research [not you, but some other random person i think].
'When anti-hyperactivity drugs were tested in cats and dogs, it made them over-hyper and excited.'
That's just one drug though. Animals have helped medical sciences. Cholera for instance. That was cured because of Chickens. Those lil' rascals.
''animal testing help science'-search up the Lord Dowding Fund-they are one of the largest pharmaceutical groups and do NOT test on animals'
Yeh, but maybe, because they are the largest pharmaceutical company, is the reason why they don't need to use animals. Maybe if the other groups got enough money they'd be able to buy technology that would mean they didn't have to experiment on animals. But the way your animal rights groups are going, your costing them more money and thus hindering your cause.
I do feel though that until you get somebody independant saying something, you can't believe it. Mainly because propaganda will probably be used by both sides.
