And what exactly would be the problem if one saved a dog instead of a human? Why should he save the human? The human might be evil! Elaborate please.

Lol, the ‘roads built by slaves’ argument. That does not hold up, because slaves no longer build roads, but animal experimentation is still used to bring benefits to medical research now.

How many people would use the roads if slaves were still building them?

This new AR group is proof if any were needed that Speaking of Research and Pro-Test UCLA are making a difference in the debate.

If you don’t want to look at the AR extremist sites listed above you can find the announcement of the formation of the new group along with commentary from AMP at:

The AR extremists fill their screed with all the expected bluster and misinformation*, but I was struck by their reference to the fact that “Pro-Test activists advocate fearless defense of their agenda” and that “Pro-Test forces have rallied their base, organized spirited protests, spread their message”. Clearly the extremists are rather piqued and worried that their attempt to use intimidation and violence to silence research advocates and stop research has failed.

Well done to all those involved with Pro-Test for Science, especially Dario and David, you’ve shown them what real courage is!

*also some rather basic errors, for example FBR designed and paid for the billboards they mention and UCLA commissioned the newspaper ads.

It continues to amuse me that people like those mentioned in this post continue to rant against…well everything but animal research in particular yet are perfectly willing to take advantage of the benefits gained from it. And they don’t see the hypocrisy in their actions, instead they constantly bring up the lame arguement of using roads built by slaves. If they could kindly tell me exactly which roads to which they refer I would gladly avoid them. Currently I drive to work on an interstate, which I know was built by well paid contractors so I’m safe there.
