Are you for or against animal testing?

[the_bob_delusion]

for science? cosmetics or others?

Do you differentiate between what animal being tested is acceptable to you?

[vampire-teddy]

there are certainly some excellent cosmetic companies that don't test on animals.  

i do not believe in using animals for testing.  i certainly don't believe in breeding animals for testing, that is barbaric.  it is disappointing how many companies do test on animals and also that some have gone back to it to sell in the Chinese market.

So, do you also believe in Capital Punishment?

I can sense the same sort of arguments being presented....

Believe it or not, I actually don't have an opinion of Capital Punishment. I can argue both sides just as well. 

I But yes I value their life less. And I wouldn't hesitate to use them for organ donation either.

I can be against because I have and would use these things.

I also eat meat and wear leather so I'd be a hypocrite if I said that I thought animals were equal.
