As long as it isn't done inhumanely, then I'm not overly fussed with it. If we're willing to eat them, what's wrong with testing products on them? As harsh as it sounds, better a rat than us for testing products.

and

and another one I can't find, was by far the funniest.
In it, Ali asked an animal rights activist the question wether or not she was against animal testing if it concerned a product for animals...
and she just sat there, totally speechless

Hah. Modern death row inmates are executed in very humane ways, such as lethal injection. They don't stop having rights until they're dead... an execution can be called off at the last second.

I was kidding, WDZ

Anyways, I read a news item about how different some animal activists compared to us.
It is the headline of News of the Weird: http://www.startribune.com/389/story/735846.html

Animal testing, or animal research, refers to the use of non-human animals in experiments.

Totally agree!

Well my main reason is because most of the animals that they test with reproduce a lot quicker. For example chickens; a large population of us eats at least an egg everyday, and I dont see we're running out of eggs (maybe the other way around, but not this). Humans reproduce a lot slower and more unwilling to mass reproduce (lol), which most test animals reproduce a lot faster than we do.
