I really have mixed opinions on this matter. As long as it won't harm the animal I'm fine. But if it does, I'll get mad.

I don't find the statement that it will make them live less painful lives to be legit. If animals have lived for billions of years, they're not suddenly going to all die out unless we "improve" them.

This would be one of the most difficult subjects for me to talk about, but I’ll do my best.

As a younger child, I had always been for animal testing. I had always thought that you could clone an animal, and test the cloned animal to see if the medicine or the experimentation. It would seem as you really wouldn’t be losing any animal in the process. I also believed that it was a great way to help modern medicine grow.

Now when I look back at that, I really do debate if it is really right to do this. It is animal cruelty, testing it on them, but we can’t test it on humans, because the humans will get killed. In this case, also the animals who were tested will also get killed. It does help our society in improving modern medicine, as we can advance to more types of medicine and experiments and figure out new things. If only there was another way to test the new medicine and experiments. If someone should create an analyzer, and it would detect on how it would behave in a typical person’s system, I think that it would be a great idea.

Though I will believe, that animals do feel pain, and it makes me sad, when I hear an animal getting killed, because they were tested with a vaccine, or an experiment was done on them. They can feel, and they can feel pain. When dogs whimper, they feel pain, when fish float upside down , they feel pain. We don’t really know how their pain really feels, because we are not them. We don’t know how we would be as them, and couldn’t imagine their pain. I for one, believe that they feel pain through these experiments, and most people come to the conclusion that they don’t feel pain, but for one, I believe that the pain they feel is wrong, and an alternate method for testing the new medicine and experiments, should be created soon.

One year ago, I was a strongly active part of an anti-animal abuse, including animal testing.

Nowadays, I am aware that anything of that kind doesn't help. Humanity already screwed up enough to make it irreversible IMO. Nao you can shoot me for it, kthx.

Well, it is obvious humans rule the whole planet, so really, there is nothing stopping us from animal testing.

[BAMFing ARCHER]

It is just cruel, torturing animals so that we can gain knowledge. Knowledge that we are not meant to gain. I can easily tell that such modifications to animals are an attempt at playing God/creator, which is by far beyond the human limit.

Not /THAT/ against it, but it depends on the type of testing.

If it's the kind if testing that yields results in superfical or extremely minor things, at the price of...say, the animal's life, then it is not a useful experiment for the cost of life.

However, if it yields in things helpful to life, minor things that benefit the race of man or even other animals, then it is fine.

It's really just a further step of natural strong > weak, if you ask me.

We are the dominant and strong in humanity, who can defeat the animals. Therefor, we use them for things such as food and clothing and to better our own race.

If the animals were in our positions and the humans theirs, I would still say what I said, because the dominant can do such at a natural level and thus it is only an extension.

Well, if you ask me, that is.
