I am not of the "better it be some other dog than mine" mentality....I have an idea Nancy perhaps you can sign your pups up for testing? Harsh sounding right? Did you cringe with anger? well imagine what those pups are going through...an animal has feelings and emotions...instead of picking my statements apart please consider it case by case and what tests are really necessary and which are not...process of elimination is factually that most of those suffering animals are suffering needlessly....mercilessly...alone |

WELL Good Grief!!!! |
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.

People do sign up for experimental testing and do clinical trials constantly. Don't you ever see the ads, etc.? That is how human clinical experimentation and testing takes place - volunteers. enforced human testing is not tolerated in this country - it is all voluntary. I guess every one has to decide for himself whether an animal life is more important than a human's. In most human society I know of, it is. |

We'd be so disease ridden and our numbers so few, society as we know it probably couldn't exist, as it was in the Dark Ages, unfortunately. Just about all chemo-therapy treatment, leukemia and most others are on tested animals before the FDA and medical societies will permit it to be tried on humans for for clinical trials. |

I was referring to testing done on dogs where the final product would benefit dogs. Tree oil, for example, if they are going to sell a shampoo for dogs with tree oil in it, they should test it first, it doesn’t do any good to test it on humans, if it’s meant for dogs. I can understand people who say they don’t want dogs used in experiments where humans will be the benefactors, but I can’t understand people saying they don’t want to test on dogs when the dogs are the ones using the product. This makes no sense to me. An example might be dog food that reduces the incidence of bladder stones, you can’t test this on anyone but a dog and the experiment can be designed to be humane, and while you can do preliminary testing with computers, you can’t do final testing with computers. If Joey had bladder stones, I would consider allowing him to partake in tests. When people say no experiments on dogs ever and they won’t buy from a company that does testing, I just don’t get it. I know this is an emotionally charged subject, but we should demand humane testing, not NO testing. |

P. S. Has anybody else had any problems getting on YT tonight? I could not get it to display for hours, finally upgraded my Java & up it came. Don't know if the Java upgrade had anything to do with it or it was pure coincidence but I could not get this site up no matter what I did until I did that!!!! I've been trying for hours! |
