If I were super rich, maybe I could do something like only buy from checked humane farms, but that's not very feasible for the average poor guy.

- Latest Review: Finding A Job in Tough Times by Dr. Tim Johnson
Although I believe that scientific experiments are helpful in finding solutions to help us in many ways, I believe that using animals contradicts the main goal. What I mean is that if scientists aim to preserve life, then they should not waste other living creature's life. I've even heard that some animals used in experiments are just kept in small cages and are constantly being tested throughout the day. Imprisoning the animal is already bad enough and the prick of needles or inducing of illnesses to them is more torture. Animals should be free just like how people enjoy their freedom.
Now when it comes to the slaughter of animals for meat, I cannot deny that I'm also enjoy barbecue and steak. However, I've recently watched a video against dairy farms where it showed how the cows are being maltreated. Calves are immediately separated from their mother as soon as they're born because the milk is intended for the consumers. Male cows are separated and probably brought to slaughter house immediately since dairy farms don't have a lot of uses for them. Female cows are then artificially inseminated to be pregnant again and to produce more milk. With all the tortures, most cows only live for up to four or five years instead of the 25 normal life expectancy.
Although I cannot fully go away from eating meat, I believe that animals should not be abused. I guess we should consume what is readily available and not force what is not there. And for experiments, if scientists can find a way to cure illnesses, I think they can also find an alternative to animal testing.

I mean if we think about it, I doubt most people will hurt animals if they could speak. It's quite sad, to be honest, that people don't realize the fact that human's blood and animal's blood are the same color.
When I say 'most people' I meant people who are disregarding animals' lives. I use the word 'most' because there are a lot of them out there. It makes me real sad. Anyway, I'm totally with you on supporting and protecting animals.

Animals are important because they have community and can comfort humans. Humans are important because they have community and can comfort animals. Why is that the case? I think that God made us both with the kind of personalities that can match each other. If men are from Mars, are they dogs? If women are from Venus, are they cats? Just asking.
