So I believe that its better to be safe, by doing testing, than sorry, by believing in the hype of "all natural", "holistic", etc and therefore doesnt need testing.
And if we, as a human race, followed your way of thinking, we would still be back in the dark ages. Sounds like you do not like modern medicine nor see the benefits from it.I hate to break it to you, but alot of modern medicine has been developed using animal testing. This has nothing to do with superiority and entitlement unless you are Hitler. |
i am sorry you were offended by what i have said. i was offended by what you have said and that is why i asked you who or what should have suffered the loss of smell and taste instead?
i know that a lot of people think if it's homeopathic, natural, then it is somehow a safe alternative. this really isn't the case, and the marketers understand that's what people think. and therefore that's why they market it that way. feeding on people's lack of awareness.
just because we have benefited from something doesn't make it right. all kinds of tests used to be done on slaves, jews, orphans, etc.. it wasn't right, and it took a long time for people to realize it.
the society is very slow to learn. but one day, it will understand that it is not right to do tests on animals and that animals have rights just as we do. it is wrong to test on animals just because we can; for the sole purpose of benefiting our self-serving wants.
"And if we, as a human race, followed your way of thinking, we would still be back in the dark ages." actually, if we, as a human race, followed my way of thinking. animals would already have rights...
