I am due to marry a keen vegetarian who wont touch anything vaguely animal like. He will admittedly consume eggs and milk yet he wont wear leather. You may deem this to be a little hypocritical of him, but as he says, everyone can do there own little bit and nobody is perfect. Well, he certainly has the morals over me. He ...

As is my custom with matters of an ethical nature, I'd like to have a look at what logic might have to tell us about this mess of morals. If you’d be so kind as to strap down your preconceptions, store all your criticisms in the overhead lockers until the end of the journey, and slip into an open-minded dressing gown, we can ...

This is the second opinion I have written for Dooyoo, and the first to be in the Speakers Corner area. Vivisection is an extremely controversial subject, and for this reason, I had to consider even writing this opinion, but I feel strongly about the subject and would like to express my personal view. There are two arguments and I will ... Read the complete review

Most people agree that animal testing for cosmetic purposes is cruel and not essesntial. Why should animals have to suffer in order to demonstrate if a certain product is safe or not? However, using animals for medical testing is different. Without this many of the medical breakthroughs which we take for granted nowadays would ... Read the complete review

First off, I am a doctor at the moment doing clinical research. I do not use animals in my research but I know people who do and would like to make a few points based on my experience. Firstly, I am totally against the use of animals for cosmetic research. I don't think I need to clarify this and I think most people would ... Read the complete review

Now this is a subject that i feel really strongly about as it involves pain and death for other living creatures. People say that it is needed to help find cures for human diseases with this i will never agree. Why should hundreds of thousands of cats,dogs,monkeys,mice etc etc die to help us live longer. These animals have ... Read the complete review

OK. So a member of my family works at an institution where 1 (one) lab carries out animal testing work. This is a vet lab, and they use animals to research cures into feline (cat) and human AIDS as well as cancers, lesions (wart like infections) and blindness. They do this using minimal force, inflicting no pain through humane practices ... Read the complete review

Would you mind if I shot you? You would, oh ok then. Can I inject you with a life threatening disease, you know, just to see what happens.

On this subject, for a change, I disagree with the general point of view. Most people rightly express horror at the idea of cosmetics being tested on animals, but feel that testing of drugs on animals is acceptable if it might save a human life. I don't think so. I don't believe that an animal's life has less value ... Read the complete review

Vivisection, or animal testing for those of us without a medical degree is still legal for anything. Public opinion is changing, but just what is all the fuss about? THE BASICS: Animals are used to test products for many reasons, the main one being that they are not human. In the past it was possible to test on any ... Read the complete review

This opinion is based on an anti-vivisection speech I made in a youth parliament debate. Before I made the speech I was pretty strongly for animal testing because I saw the medical benifits. But then I had to do some research and found out some of the terrible facts vivisection: The vast majority of test done on animals are done ... Read the complete review

It's amazing isn't it. Here we are with all the technology and advancement, all the inventions and cleverness, and we still have to resort to testing on animals. Ultimately there is no 100% effective alternative for testing for effects that a product may have on people, apart from ON people (not animals). Lets ... Read the complete review

Its only one more opinion right? I can't tell you how to think or what to believe...all I can do is give you the story. The choice is yours.

This may seem quite a harsh and analytical view of such a controversial issue, but im a pharmacology student, and much to the horror of many, carry out experiments on guinea pig and rat tissue on a weekly basis.

Vivisection or animal experiments is one of the few hot potatoes left for us to cast an opinion on with widely differing views being expressed. I eat certain animals, birds, fish and vegetable matter and I do so because as an omnivore, nature has given me the right to do so to enable me to survive. This is not the place for a ...

To get straight to the point, I strongly agree with pharmaceutical testing of drugs on animals. I don't agree with cosmetic testing.

I'm not saying that we have a natural right to test products on animals and I'm not claiming to have any facts on this issue, because not many people do (although they claim to), but I think that the millions of humans with terminal illnesses for which animal testing could help to find a cure should take preference over a few animals. ...
