I do renal (kidney) toxicology (what kills you) research and rabbits happen to be the subjects of choice.
They just happen to start off as cute little white bunnies.
Those cute little white bunnies are surely saving countless lives. Thank you for your daily efforts in the intelligent and scientific slaughter of lower forms of life to save the one form of life that truly does matter. Ohhhh, I'll bet what I said just burns the skin off of any PETA goobers reading this.
I said it, I'll say it again, HUMAN LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANIMAL LIFE.
Devour to survive, so it's been, so it always will be. throughout history, higher forms of life have killed and eaten lower forms of life to survive (with the exception of bacteria and viruses, which are lower forms that devour higher forms). How is it any different than eating the bunny to kill it in a scientific experiment to save lives? Both ways, it ends the bunny's life, while prolonging the life of the human.
I am waiting for PETA to start decrying the cruelty of anti-biotics. (The poor abused bacteria). Yet, based upon their thesis that humans have no more right to live than some lower life form like a bunny, without any true line drawn, they could totally say the same about bacteria, too. Wait for it. THey don't love animals so much as they hate people. Don't believe me? Wait for it.
THanks for not having some sort of misguided shame in what you do BJS. You save lives. Period. Anyone says different, then they need to be denied ANY AND ALL medication and/or treatments that were developed using animals as test subjects. That would pretty much mean everything, which would mean that in no time at all, we would no longer have to worry about the goofy bastards.
Rant OFF!
