So I saw a video about animal testing from the Mars food company. Now what people do to animals is pretty sick because humans are just animals after all. However the animal people contradict themselves by saying that animals can't tell us if they're in pain so we should stop testing them. My question is since when did an animal walk up to you and say, "Hey buddy, nice life, huh?" Never, so the arguement about animals not telling us how they feel, doesn't work.
But I propose that since we take an almost sadistic enjoyment of testing things on animals, why don't we test them on humans? Sure, we're all animals, what makes it so wrong to test some poison on humans? In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes, people are more highly evolved and can tell us what they feel, but so can animals; the animals just don't talk.
I'm really sick and tired of people thinking that they're above animals because we're really not. I have no problem eating meat just like a bear has no problem eating me. People have been eating animals and vice versa for thousands of years...and for all you evolutionists; millions. So I think that when we start testing out products we need to do it on people because it's really not right to subject animals to that kind of pain...even human animals. Yet, since these products are for humans, they need to be tested on humans.
Now the whole meating eating debate I'll blog about some other time, cuz PETA and all those nostalgic pre-meat eating organisations need to be let loose in the wild and see how long they fare on eating only plants.
You know, grass and leaves have feelings too. You really shouldn't eat anything because it harms the environment.

Yes they do...I say we live a water only existence, but wait, do amoebas have feelings too?
What about the poor water molecules? Don't they get a say?!

No, they can't talk so why should we listen to them.
How do you know they can't talk?

Because I'm all knowing.

Deny that. If the Carrots can be conscious, who is to say that the water molecules aren't!?

You need to watch "What the Bleep to We know?!"
It's a movie about quantam physics...
Point: there's a scene where some scientist put words on water bottles and told people to think about how those words made them feel (directing the energy towards the water). Then he took pictures of the molecules.
Apparently, when people think of lovely, happy things, water looks like pretty little snowflakes. When people think things like "I Hate You!" the water looks like rotten fruit.
So be nice to the molecules or they'll get ugly on you!

AMEN
I'm a vegetarian but I have to agree with this whole blog. If you want to eat meat, go ahead and do it, because if animals had a choice(or a desire) to eat us then they would. What I don't understand is why people get so grossed out about cannibalism. To me, eating a chicken or cow is the same as eating a human. I honestly don't see the difference. The only problem with cannibalism is that humans are, well, HUMANS. At least in America, how would we decide who could be eaten and who couldn't? That's where it gets complicated.
Animal testing is flat out cruel. And I don't understand why they test products on animals to be used on humans, it should just be tested on humans in the first place. The world is overpopulated anyways, maybe testing things on humans will help with population control.

"The world is overpopulated anyways, maybe testing things on humans will help with population control."
That's why God created homosexuality, lol, i kid...kinda.
Actually cannibalism isn't found in most animal species unless in times of severe starvation. But I agree that animal testing is very cruel. I mean Nick and I can joke about amoeba's and whatnot, but humans are animals so why not use the animal, homo sapien, to test products that our animal species will only use?
Because humans talk. They are loud, obnoxious, and voice their indignity at the thought of "abuse" in ridiculous ways.
More seriously, because even the most pathetic examples of the human species are a massive capital investment. It would cost exponentially more in salary and benefits for a human tester than to just buy animals to test on. Not to mention the human tester would demand some sort of "damage pay" in addition.
Perhaps we should make inmates earn their keep by testing Estee Lauder products. There's a thought.
So? Your point...if they're dead, they don't need damage pay.
So humans talk and animals make noises that are considered talking to other animals, and we know what it means when an animal is crying and screaming. I still think we put humans on too high a pedestal.
I'll always stick by this arguement, hell you might hear of people dying in horrible ways from stuff used to test on animals...cuz im sadistic like that. :))
Their families would get insurance pay. More capital investment.
You are being silly here. Lol.
Am I?
I don't joke...I was being completely serious. I would kill you if it weren't for the fact that I don't like killing people.

You'd eat me too if you didn't like eating humans, I presume.
I eat babies. If you pan fry them they get this nice crispy skin...delicious.

... and the next time that you tackle somebody on that football field, you stop and think about all those aphids you just killed. Just you think, and consider all those poor little caterpillars because you HAD TO WALK to class. What were you thinking? Seriously.

bahaha...and all those cockroaches.
Murder! Save the termites!
Nice post=]
I agree with you.
Animal Cruelty is so very wrong=]
I just don't understand why everybody is poking fun at PETA?
I am a charter member of the local chapter of PETA and we just met the other night at our local steak house for our monthly meeting. What could be wrong with an organization with the following motto?
People
Eating
Tasty
Animals
As far as doing animal testing on humans, I am fully in favor of this concept as long as I have a veto on who gets used as a test subject. There are a lot of people whose highest and best use to society would be as test subjects. I'd start searching these people out beginning in the prisons.
Oh well, I mean
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
Now your PETA I enjoy a lot. I see nothing wrong with that PETA, the loud abnoxious PETA whos leader wants to turn herself into handbags, is the PETA i have a problem with.
Nothing like a great, big, medium rare Delmonico to get the brain juices running.
; )
Mmmm....thanks for waking my appetite up, Katie eh
*grumbles*
That sounds SOOOO good!
