Indeed it is deeply troubling that "researchers" have somewhere along the line lost ethics and compassion for others and can actually stoop so low as to be indifferent to the pain and horror of most animal testing.

If this sadistic behaviour were perpetrated on a human member, one would no doubt, and rightly so, be charged with a crime. However, an innocent victim is used against their will in horrific, sadistic experiments, a fact I find deeply troubling in members of the human species. It has been well documented that over reliance on animal experimentation not only hinders scientific progress but results typically can not be applied to humans. Humane non-animal research and testing usually is more accurate and efficient. Non violence by achieving high ethics in human societies should be the greatest goal of human evolution.

"Those who experiment on animals should never be able to quiet their own conscience by telling themselves that these cruelties have a worthy aim."

--Albert Schweitzer, physician/Nobel Laureate.
