I think animals that serve in the stead of humans whether on active duty or in laboratories using medications, products or surgical techniques do us all such a service that we owe them more than we can ever repay. Any time one walks into a children's cancer wing or speaks to the mother of a child with epilepsy, has to have surgery or takes an antibiotic, we've a group of animals to thank. Without animal testing, there would be rampant plague, multiple other diseases, mediocre surgical advances, etc. It would be like the dark ages. Any animal that keeps my child or family or city safe because he suffered or went in advance of man is as noble as any of our greatest of citizens, just as worthy of honor. They are true heroes.
