My entire life I have tried to steer clear of brand name things like Gillette, because "Mother" said they were tested on animals, not here but in other countries. I think the protestors have misplaced their demonstrations, our country has very strict guidelines for all medical tests, unlinke many overseas. And I'm a vege and an animal lover. And to even it out a bit, here's an orginisation that looks at developing sensible alternatives without terrorism: <A HREF="http://www.drhadwentrust.org.uk/" REL="nofollow">Dr Hadwen Trust</A>Carmelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269004809509677304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30551280.post-1155031053620410422006-08-08T10:57:00.000+01:002006-08-08T10:57:00.000+01:00It's funny that a fellow Pharmacologists have the ...It's funny that a fellow Pharmacologists have the same views as me...<BR/><BR/>I have seen many protesters in the High St, with their pictures of monkeys and dogs in awful states. When approached by them to sign their petition, I ask:<BR/><BR/>1. "When were those pictures taken?" Chances are, they are over 20 years old, and certainly pre- Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986<BR/><BR/>2. "Are any of your family, colleagues or friends insulin-dependent diabetics?" Chances are, most people know a Type 1 diabetic somewhere. Most people, however, forget about Pavlov's Dog.<BR/><BR/>3. "Do any of your family have any other long-term or chronic medical condition?" Chances are, the protestors know of someone who is dependent on medication. Without animal experimentation, they would not still be with us.<BR/><BR/>It is ILLEGAL to experiment on animals for cosmetic purposes according to the Animal (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, and it is also very hard to obtain a licence to work with animals. The premises are also strictly controlled by the Home Office, to monitor the humane treatment of animals. <BR/><BR/>I am an animal lover, and I am vegetarian.Doryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08633568840828759619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30551280.post-1155010440252321822006-08-08T05:14:00.000+01:002006-08-08T05:14:00.000+01:00"If you or someone you cared about was seriously i..."If you or someone you cared about was seriously ill would you refuse a drug that would cure you/them because it had been tested on animals?"<BR/><BR/>I would not refuse it. <BR/><BR/>And, I fully agree with what you said about testing drugs on animals prior to using those drugs on humans. The protestors need to realize that ultimately, the goal is to help people who are in serious medical situations, not to produce cosmetics or something we could certainly do without.thethinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02246687154473607332noreply@blogger.com
