Are People For Animal Rights Against All Animal Research?
It is one thing when the research does not benefit human society; such as the testing of cosmetics on animals. What about when it can save human lives? Heart transplant would not be around if not tested on the dogs first. Various medicines would not be around such as insulin and penicillin. I don’t understand why some would be against it even when human lives are saved by it. I will glady see the death of 10 dogs if it can save one human life.
Are animal rights activists against ALL animal research?
This always baffles me; the portrayal of scientists as these crazies who want to kill animals and derive some sort of pleasure from it. This is far from the truth.
Some myths about animals in research:
- Animals are necessary for biomedical research. So are humans, but FDA regulations state that before human clinical trials can take place, a procedure or drug must be tested on animals. There are no effective substitutes to the use of animals. Computerized simulations can be used to supplement these tests, but not to supplant them.
- Labs, contrary to popular belief, are not driving down suburban streets scooping up pets to use as research animals. Almost all animals used in research are bred for research purposes.
To answer the question, most animal rights activists are opposed to the use of animals in any sort of testing. But just as public opinion in the US has shifted towards support for the use of unwanted embryos in stem cell research, attitudes can change if people are well-educated about the topic and work for positive change to the system. Acts of terrorism do not contribute to such change.
