"Using Animals - What is acceptable?"

Allright, here is the deal.

I have an RS essay to do on Animals and their uses. I have to include other peoples views, including a Chirstian view (don't cack yourself Forest Fan, and don't go over the top) and other people. I also have to discuss things such as Foxhunting and Animal Testing like operations and cosmetics. Hopefully I can get some views to include from you guys. Cheers.

So slaughter is alright, but trying to fight disease isn't?

I do. Freedom of worship, and all that.

You think your last point should be legal?

Everything should be banned. Except for forcing bears to wear tutus and dance on hot coals. That should be made a National institution.

Oh and using Lambs for sacrafice to heathen Gods and ritual blood baths.

Like I have said, within reason, on a common rat, yes. People just kill rats otherwise and they carry disease, so I do believe it is acceptable.

And it IS humane to test on animals?

Nice idea, but inhumane in reality.

If you want to see what effect an experimental drug will have on humans, test it on humans.

The only acceptable thing to test on an animal is a drug that is to be used on an animal.

We have an ever-growing violent criminal population. Test on them.

Fine, good idea. As long as they are well treated we should observe the animals God Created.
