Animal testing saves lives. How do PETA folks (and others) deal with this?

I dont like it..not when they can use cadavers for the same thing or people that donate their bodies to science..they could keep them alive long enough to do human testing.. However, I do understand your point..there has to be a way they can do this without causing the animal pain and suffering..

Loves animals and does not wear fur!!! What makes you think terrorists deal with anything? PETA is insane, insane people are irrational, irrational people ignore logic.

Read this response to a question from a child asking if it's ok to eat eggs. Do these seem like people willing to weigh the risk of animal torture versus the benefits of animal testing to reach a fair understanding?

"Eating an egg is the equivalent of rummaging through your sister’s garbage once a month, gathering together all the old tampons and pads, and enjoying your finds sandwiched between a lovely bit of French bread. Delicious, right? So, consider that the next time an egg salad sandwich takes your fancy at the store, you sicko! "

Well first of all PETA is an extremist group who's ultimate goal is the "complete liberation of all animals" which will even include family pets. So I don't think you should look at PETA as an answer for anything. They actually kill over 80% of their "rescued" animals every year. visit www.petakillsanimals.com
Now to answer your question, PETA doesn't feel there is any need to use animals for testing (whether it actually hurts the animals or not). Your asking an ethics question, equivalent to asking "If you could cure cancer by killing 1 person would you?". Ethics is a very gray area and differs greatly from individual to individual. So to ask what PETA or any other animal rights group would think of saving human lives by testing on animals your going to their core issue of the liberation of animals, especially from testing. PETA also spends most of their funds on celebrity faces such as Pamela Anderson and other advertising to get their name out there. Money NOT spent to truly help abused, neglected or tortured animals.

You had a legitimate point you were making until you added the pun about veal which then reduced you to...but then you already named yourself so fittingly. Theres pros and cons-what Peta and other animal rights groups are against incl.me is the needless repetitive experiements here theories have already been proven but still they do to receive grant monies. We all know if you take baby away from monkey mother that baby monkey will grow uo neurotic and so on-read about this in begiining of my high school years but at Yerkes Primate Center
read just last year still doing the same. Do you know what Veal is-a baby calf is taken from the mother as soon a its weaned and put into a stable too small for it to turn around or lie down and they pur[osely feed less to deprive it and keep it anemic-why it has the pale pink color for all healthy animals incl human have blood red color to their flesh. For its entire life these calves stand tightly confined and always hungry. How can one justify this -just so ,,,can eat light pink flesh--thius little animal has to suffer so. if you are Christian ,believe in a higher being,hope to go to heaven when you leave this earth heard of or read the bible then be aware that GOD is very specific when he gives the israelites permission to eat meat in Exodus(2nd book of the bible) how animals should be slaughtered and He is very definite that it is to be done in humane,with the least sufferin and pain to the animal.How will you explain ti Him ,one day,how lightly you took the needless,wanton suffering o one o HIS creatures.

ok, first of all, if humans ate what they were supposed to, NOBODY would be sick and there wouldn't be a NEED for animal testing. If a food is processed, or "made", by humans instead of just as it is coming out of the ground as plants, this food will ultimately kill you by giving you some sort of disease.

Dr. Jordan Rubin, author of "The Makers Diet". Didn't you hear the news? PETA KILLS ANIMALS!!!! There was a big news story about it a few months ago how they take homeless animals off the streets and kill them. Rather than give them a chance to live and maybe find a home they KILL THEM. Why in the hell would the largest animals rights group KILL animals? Oh yeah, thats right, because they are a bunch of dam hypocrites.
