It might sound harsh but i really do not know how they envision people developing this type of thing without such tests.ofcourse its not great, but afaik we still can't do much better. Perhaps if universities and their medical centers got…

The average factory-farmed animal is treated with even worse levels of cruelty than this, for a far lesser return, and I still eat meat because it is the path of least resistance.The benefits of animal research for medicine, even if "there is no clear evidence that the experiments led to changes in public health recommendations" for any one…

Researchers continue down this path not because it makes sense but because “it’s always been done this way”.This research has little real value for human medicine. If anything, animal testing might have set back human healthcare. (People have literally died by…

I think the point is making sure people know and actually see the cost of the research. If advocating for animal welfare leads to people being angry at you, be more open and transparent with exactly how animals are being tested at your research facilities. Be so open that PETA doesn't need to expose you cause there's nothing to expose.

I honestly don’t care about this and I’m a person that cares about animal welfare immensely. But what I care about more is scientific progress and if this is the only way we can do it right now then I’m for it. I do feel sad for our very close relatives though and their pain must be an akin to or pretty close to what we feel.

You've created a false choice between children dying or torturing monkeys. This isn't the trolley problem.They poisoned pregnant macaque mothers to see what would happen to their babies. Really sick stuff.
