And just because there are a lot of humans doesn't make it bad. There are tons of more insects than humans. So should they all die?
 
In my opinion (I said opinion), a human's life is more valuable to that of an animal. However, I'm not saying that testing on animals for nothing is ok. My opinion is not changing. You guys can write up whatever nasty reply or try to convince me, but I will stick with my beliefs. Thank you and bye.

Yea seriously

I don't see any animals contributing to global warming and destroying forests and ****

It makes far more logical sense to save animals rather than ourselves
 
What so you expect those 1000 people all be vegetarian, never contribute to global warming or anything like that?

First you never said anything about vegetarians, or anything that you said, second you make 0 sense, they don't all have to be
 
I don't like it but if it's for medicine, then I'm okay with it since medicine is important. Testing on animals for stupid stuff like makeup is wrong in my opinion.

For what purpose?? If humans don't matter, who would be there to enjoy it?

That's not true, what about pythons brought from Asia? Weren't they destroying other animals that are native to the Everglades?

Uhhh, cows contribute to global warming a very large amount. ( ͡? ͜ʖ ͡?)

Jokes aside though, I'm just going to watch this.
 
No. It's wrong considering you can do tests on human cells and complete tests without hurting a single animal or human in the process.

Fun fact: animal tests aren't even that accurate compared to tests done on human cells, harmlessly taken from humans and then duplicated to then be tested on. So not only are you torturing poor innocent animals, your tests aren't even that accurate.

I personally believe that no animal should be harmed in our name. I think it's cruel. Whether humans should be tested on instead depends on your morality, but my opinion is that they should use human volunteers and/or prison inmates (preferably volunteers). Use the rapists, the pedophiles, the murderers. Why use innocent creatures?

If you think "but a human wouldn't volunteer to do something like that to themselves", well, maybe that's true, but if an animal would object to it, why should they be used instead? Is it simply because they're not as intelligent as us? They don't look like us? They can't talk to us? There are thousands of them? What seperates them from us and makes them less worthy of living? My belief is that we are all equal and we all deserve to live. So, since we are the ones who want to test, we should be the ones tested on.

To me, testing on prison inmates is totally unethical. Just because someone is convicted of a crime does not mean they lose their humanity and become human guinea pigs. Volunteer testing is unethical too as it puts pressure on poor people to become said human guinea pigs if there is money involved. I suppose you could make an argument that it's unethical to test an "innocent" animal over a "guilty" human, but I think it's much "cleaner" to draw the line at human / non-human than to potentially make testing a race, gender, religion, sexuality, etc. issue based on who gets experimented on. I do think it's worth testing on animals to save human lives because would you be okay if a loved one dies because people thought it is unethical to test a potentially life-saving cure on rats, guinea pigs, or even chimpanzees? Ethics are highly opinion based and there are cases to made both ways, so ultimately it comes down to what a majority of people are okay with and currently that means testing on animals.
