Looked over the list and read the replies and really don't understand all the confusion.
A few general opinions/observations.
I don't condone animal testing when it can be avoided (for cosmetic items) Admitedly, I know very little about why any such test would be deemed neccessary. Could be a valid reason, but I doubt it.
I do, however, feel completely different in regards to animals being used to test medical procedures and medications.
I *think* in regards to all the mentions of libel/slander, no, it's not libel if it is true. It was stated by a few that what was posted was fact. So I guess the determining factor would be, IS IT actually fact? I think that was all coolbar meant when she posted her warning.
