Anti vivisection petition

I'm not usually one for posting things like this, but there is only a few days left to sign this, thought I would try to drum up a few more signatures for a good cause :)

    What alternative is this campaign proposing?

    Test on human volunteers of course..

    If products are meant for the benefit of humans, they should be tested on humans - not defensless animals.

    Would you volunteer to take an untested drug or other treatment?

    No I would not volunteer for testing for the sake of testing - I do not use anything that has been tested on animals, products or ingridients (that includes medication - I know that would be next question).

    Whoever uses brands that are known to be tested on animals - should volunteer for testing themselves.

    Yes, I would rather take untested drug if I needed it than one that has been tested on animals.

    Unless they don't have a problem with using some animals for some tests of products made to be used by humans.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.

    No, that is not what I said.

    With today's technology no animal should suffer for human's enjoyment of any "products"

    Congratulations on enjoying such good health that you never even need to take an Aspirin, you're very lucky.

    I know though that you've given your animals medication (also tested of course), how is that different?

    Why are you trying to stop something that does immeasurable good in the world?

    Challenging illogical views isn't 'looking for a fight', its pretty much a duty.

    She is ALWAYS looking for an argument ;)

    And what better topic than vivisection. The thread'll run into page after page in no time!
