One problem I have with all of the “No Animal Testing” thing.If my shampoo has never been tested on animals, how can I be sure that it won’t kill my cat on contact?Can you PROVE it won’t?Have you TESTED it? (evil grin)
wonderful story by james tiptree jr. the psychologist who wouldn’t do awful things to rats. needless to say, his career does not go well…. until something! happens.
I hope all the commenters advocating human testing know that it’s already been done, with horrific consequences. The military tested LSD on enlisted men and prisoners, and the Tuskegee experiments infected men with syphilis. There have been other instances both here and abroad, even excluding the testing the Nazis did on twins and other concentration camp inmates. Bucky is wrong, wrong, wrong as always folks. It is NOT a starting point for discussion.

I’ve always said pedophiles would make better test subjects than bunnies.

I am completely on board with this! We can test on people who abuse animals, and poachers.

“Innit?” Isn’t that how his friend McManx talks? Is Bucky turning into an Aussie now?

Innit is a typical English slang word used by the educationally poor. I.E. thickos

Reminds me of a Christmas party skit I once wrote — punch line “will it work as well on monkeys as it does on humans?”

Nod. “Plunder” isn’t very complementary but “chunder” and and “thunder” are worse.
