Glad there is some agreement on that.

I don’t understand why the anti-vivisectionists don’t get a lot more exercised about the use of animals as food: a whole lot more animals are used as food than for research, and there are a wealth of alternatives to animal eating, unlike animal testing. Historically, many if not most anti-vivisectionists have been meat-eaters and been partial to cute animals.
