Although I hate PETA, I hate any harm towards dogs. I just can't stomach it. I think I would actually kill someone who was harming/trying to kill my dogs.

I wish to sign my name under every word DV!

You're using an extreme example. The line should be drawn somewhere. You wanna kill a whole lot of animals just so you can do research on perfumes? :rolleyes: I don't think so.

You wanna smell better, take a fuckin' bath!

I should add this quote to "Things that make me happy" thread.

Only when it succeeds, they try it on human volunteers. Then, they take it to production. During this process, a lot animals get killed, which is bad because not all drugs pass the safety regulations. But on the other hand, there is no other choice. The effect of the drugs on humans cannot be simulated using computers. Atleast not in many cases. If killing animals is so disgusting, why not ban the meat and poultry industry? Will your logic be, "if you are hungry, go eat some vegetables and bread" ??

No, not at all; I'm not that extreme (and neither is my example). I feel its important to point out that animal testing is not the only way in which to proceed for many manufacturing processes, but its done because its the easiest (and cheapest) way for many of the manufacturers.

I see nothing wrong with eating those animals raised exclusively for food. People have to eat and nobody likes a good steak better than I. But killing animals to see if some makeup will give someone a rash is wrong. You have to ask yourself, "do we REALLY need that product"?

I do not favor killing animals for clothing that can be easily manufactured otherwise (i.e. for their fur) but I'd never condone pouring a bucket of paint on someone wearing one of those furs. I do, however, laugh whenever I see that on tv.

Irish where do you work? For my own safety, I will avoid going anywhere near where you work. [/b][/quote]That's probably a good idea. I'm so looking forward to going back to New York for Christmas vacation and get outta this state for at least a month
