I'm all for treating animals with respect. Not beating your dog, not caging your cat for days/weeks/months on end. Heck, I even think farm animals should be treated somewhat decently.
However, I also think research on animals - as long as it's not outright cruel and unnecessary (like for women's make-up) - is a good thing. So many things have been done to help humans, from animal experimentation. For instance, I was going to have heart surgery, and they were going to use a pig valve in me... now, while I can't stand the taste of bacon, I'm all for having pork IN me, and getting to live an extra 40 years [
]
(never had the surgery, in case you're wondering... I'm 100% human for now)
Maybe that's Peta's problem. They're compassion is for animals ONLY, and they don't care about humans at all? Now it all makes sense! LOL
