it's always as if they look at you and they say "help me, this cannot be happening to me..."

it's so ridiculously  absurd that people go on about how "advanced the human race is" and how great humans are, yet they haven't the slightest problem testing on animals. everything from cosmetics to AIDS and even "nutritional experiments" on dogs in which they are confined to cages for years without any medical attention if and when needed. What is so great about humans when they seem to do all of this disgusting testing on animals who haven't got the chance to stand up for themselves? Many people say "oh well.. they're just animals" just animals? That is absolutely ludicrous. Animals are vastly intelligent and they, like humans, feel pain. It is illegal for a man to kill another man, but when a monkey has his eyes sewn shut and is isolated and tortured for months until he dies, the world doesn't take a second look. What makes him so different? Is it the tail? His inability to communicate like a person? That is insignificant and is no different from say discriminating based on the colour of one's skin or someone who is mute. What is more sickening is the fact that these labs and the people running the experiments all seem to get some sort of pleasure in abusing these defenseless animals and expect us all to revel in their zeal. absolutely sickening. Many of the testing done adds no extra knowledge or help when it comes to whatever it is they were being tested for. For example, According to the National Institutes of Health, many of the vaccines for HIV/AIDS developed using animals and brought to human trials have failed.

"We don't face firing squads, lifetime prison sentences or the gas chambers for saying what's on our minds and in our hearts. We won't lose our lives if we speak out against animal wrongs wherever we see them, but the animals do lose theirs if we don't, so we must." -Ingrid Newkirk, animal rights activist
