Animal Testing!

[AB Asks]

As a society we have developed through using animal testing as a way of finding preventions, cures and successful drug treatments. Why is it then that when we are trying to discover a cure for cancer, bird flu and Alzheimer's etc we are faced with people who show no support for these breakthroughs and carry out terrorists acts aimed at the people trying to find miracle cures. A prime example has to be the people who dug up the grave of an elderly woman merely for the fact she was the Grandmother of an individual who happened to own an animal testing centre.

When these individuals are seriously ill or urgently in need of treatment, will they still be on such moral high grounds if the hospital happens to use drugs which have been tested on animals? What gives these people the right to terrorise animal testing laboratories where vital drugs are being developed?

Some people are 'born' to be terrorists.The people who dug up the remains of that woman as mentioned show the truly ugly side of human nature in the name of animal research.These people need a cause, any cause to project their vile attitudes onto others.

I don`t think make-up should be used on animals, because it just doesn`t suit them.

I don't think medical research testing is necessary on animals prior to using on humans, the same as cosmetic testing on animals isn't necessary but the only reason I think they do it at the moment is because it's the quickest and least expensive to the human pocket.
We can resurface murder cases from fifty or more years ago using the latest DNA and forensic procedures but we don't know how to test a man-made drug using only man-made technology instead of on a defenceless creature.
I think the only choice these labs make is how little can they spend to get the maximum payback.
