Is it wrong to test drugs on animals or is it situational?
for instance, if the drug is an asprin and the chimps got a headache, is it still wrong?
The only two other alternatives are testing it on people or not testing it at all.
I wholeheartedly support animal testing.
If you don't, then you really should refuse all medical treatment since all of it relies on animal testing at one point or another.
Animals are used as models throughout science.
Most the protests against it focus on the use of animal testing for cosmetics, which I myself don't agree with.
For medical research, I understand the use of animals. They will be used until technology is good enough to substitute, but that will take a while. Experiments that use animals strive to minimise the amount of animals used to that necessary, and the welfare of the animals is generally taken into account before, during, and after the experiment.
I may not be happy with the use of them, but I understand the need. Without using animals, we would not have advanced medically as far as we have now.
Seems silly to care so long as we eat them.

I've always been of the mind that it's fine to experiment on animals with drugs if the drugs have positive effect, such as life-extending drugs or things like that. Oncomice and 50/50 poison testing is bullshit though.
>>2080761
Sure.
Unless you volunteer to try random shit first.

Good. We'll use you to more accurately track the lethal doses of polonium.

Animal testing for medical purposes is fine imo
Cosmetics testing is bullshit.

> Animal models are often totally inaccurate for judging chemical reactions in humans
It's actually extremely rare.
>We have PLENTY of people willing to be guinea pigs
No, we don't. You don't understand the scale of these studies.
>for free even,
What
>let alone for cash
What cash
> not to mention the millions of prisoners.
You're confusing prisoners with slaves.
Head like a fucking orange

I'm fine with it except for cats and dogs.

Why them? Because we keep them as pets? What about primates?
>Is it wrong
Define "wrong".

Et-hey! A rat doesn't wear lipstick okay? A rabbit doesn't use hairspray! A monkey doesn't need pills, to get ramped up for hot monkey sex! It's people, man! We're miserable! So why shouldn't we try it all first?
>>2081866
Well... you've got a point there actually. I'll try it.

My journey continues and where it will take me, no one really knows. But I am not alone. Right, Mardock?
