Well you know I have to jump on this one.
First of all, Medical research on animals is one of the most pretentious acts of our species. Especially when done in complete negligence. I understand that we need to eat and instincts of this world let nature take it's course. But it is so arrogant to take a life or imprison another creature and rob it of it's time here. Nab one of the bums from the welfare line and grow a dick on his arm.(sorry
)
PETA can be extreme, the ALF is famous for it, but thier chief concern should not be looked upon as common malarky. A lot of thier tactics are meant to be that way for the publicity that non-profits can't pay for. Not that I agree with it at all- but that's the purpose. It's conflicting. Sorry for the dogmatism.
AND I like James Jeffords- his switch was noble and you don't see that often enough in politics.
Here is the link to PETA's findings in Vienna:
