"I hate that they refer to the lab as a medical "testing" facility. Yea, its sad what happens to the dogs, but its even more sad what happens to people all around the world who suffer from lack of medication. So lets not belittle medical research."

Prescription medication is the 4th leading cause of death in the U.S. We are not mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, dogs, or any other type of animal that is experimented on. Our bodies do not behave the same. Many products are tested on animals not because they have to be, but because doing so legally protects the manufacturer from lawsuits. However, there are other, humane methods of testing (such as in-vitro, computer simulation, EpiDerm/EpiSkin test, etc). We have absolutely no right to use these animals against their will.
