Hardly. Allow me to quote Dr. Will Tuttle, who sums up my views so well in "The World Peace Diet" when he questions "the underlying assumption of vivisection," -- namely, "that we can become healthier by destroying the health of other living beings. Our welfare," he writes, "is tied to the welfare of all beings; we cannot reap health in ourselves by sowing seeds of disease and death in others. We exhibit not only hubris but remarkable obtuseness in caging, torturing, and infecting animals in the name of improving our health. We can see the outcome of our actions already, as new diseases continue to arise and old ones spread, often becoming impervious to our increasingly devastating drugs." </p> http://seattlest.com/2008/05/21/boiling_lab_mon.php#comment-1368348 http://seattlest.com/2008/05/21/boiling_lab_mon.php#comment-1368348 Comments Wed, 21 May 2008 20:53:43 -0800 <p>This is a tragic accident, but I object to your statement that this industry is known for its careless brutality towards its test subjects. You may find animal testing brutal, but the people doing the research aren't heartless psychopaths. They just feel it is for the greater good and I for one agree.</p>
