Oh wow, Sorry for the gigantic picture.
I hope the mods or whatever aren't mad, I know some forums get pissed when you do stuff like that -- then again, they're fault for not giving us the widely used on like every forum -- EDIT feature! [Not that I'm saying its not my fault, My bad ]
Anyway,

Forgot to say!
They're animals. So what. We're above them, we control them.
In all technicality, they owe us a bit. We gave them life. We take it away.
Lab animals are specifically bred for their intended purpose. That is all they can do. They would not and cannot survive anywhere else.
It's no different from the extermination we do to animals on a daily basis is it? If animals were on par with humans, thousands, even millions would be on trial for war crimes and murder, simply because they need the pests ousted. What about the slaughter of millions of animals, simply to feed our endless lust for meat?
None of it is any different, except for the part about it helping humanity.
Thats quite a point, I kinda like it.
Then again, I'm not sure we gave them life. [If they were on par with us] I'm pretty sure that would be one hell of a human/livingthing right's violation to breed them just for their own extermination, or to say that we are the owners of their lives instead of (Depending on who it is) they're creater/the fruit of life/whatever.
Thats just from a moral standpoint.
It makes sense, to be honest, while I'm partial to Animal Testing and that it can be rather awful... the reason I lean to the side of it being 'a little OK' rather than 'Neutral' is simply because all other aspects of Animal Saving are a little stupid or not needed.
Ex: Vegetarianism, I know there was a thread on it, but I'm just saying, We need F00dz guys. Get over it. Not eating the already fried Hamburger won't change anything, there are countries [believe it or not] that have villages/towns that rely on meat as a big source of food. Cutting it off for the animals, which,
by the way, would all die in the wild anyway -- makes no sense. They have been harnessed and kept under our control for years, If I let a cow lose the best will happen is some farmer will say "What the F@$##@K?@" and eat it anyway. The cow won't know wtf to do, its spent its life moving around in a nice pasture eating grass. The second it ends up somewhere else, it won't know where to go, where to find other cows, or where to find the grass it likes. It. Will. Die.
Did you guys hear about the Panda nursery in china? Its pretty tight, but thats what you got to do otherwise there will be loose pandas everywhere and they won't know where their little bamboo sticks are and then poof. Panda failure.
