Animal Research

oh well like i said nesecary evil I guess.

I don't know about you guys but personally, if I was a cat, I would so want to glow in the dark.

Humans = Animals

Not really. Humans outlive most animals. We erect buildings and write literature, paint portraits and compose music. More important than eating sleeping and shitting. Most importantly we are both of the same species and animals are not, so isn't that kind of going against species survival instincts?

Last I checked we were humans, not animals. Mammals, yes, but the term animal does not include human in the common perception.

I believe that a few weeks ago you told asamin and I that animals and plants feel more than humans. : ) Retracting that statement?

I'm not retracting the statement. As a human I would gladly kill a plant or animal rather than a human. I don't give a shit how much more they can feel or think than we are capable of, I'm protecting my goddamn species. : D

And dogs make a cute sound when they're in pain

We erect buildings and write literature, paint portraits and compose music. More important than eating sleeping and shitting.

I see equally beautiful things in nature. The honey bee's hive has the intricacy of a building, the song of a bird is as beautiful as that of a human's, and literature and portraits are a modern development. By that standard, would you assert that humans 10,000 years ago were less valuable than humans today since they did not write literature, paint portraits, or compose music?

species survival instincts?

There's a species survival instinct?!
