i did work as a caretaker of lab animals for a short time ... not something any one who knows me EVER thought i would do! and yes, it was a very emotionally hard job ... but it did show me the inside of things that few people see, or realize ...

people who are against using animals HAVE made a difference! the outraged public HAS caused some GOOD + necessary changes to be made as far as how things are done ... and i disagree with people who can't see that changes STILL need to be made ... and with all the advancement in techology, there'll come a day when animals aren't used in experimentation at all ... there'll be computers, etc. that can do it ...

the people i disagree with are the ones who think that by opening the cage doors + letting the animals go 'free', they're doing a good thing ...

there's a middle ground somewhere, tho i'm not sure WHERE ... there'll be an end someday to the use of animals in research ... i hope it's SOON cuz i feel really stuck in the middle of this issue and it's hard to agree + disagree with myself at the same time! :)

see, cuz i don't believe that it's our 'right' as humans to do this ... i really don't ... animals are so much more moral than we are ~ they really are ... and when Mother Nature rids the earth of the human infestation, the animals will do a much better job of appreciating it!

i DON'T believe that humans are necessarily the "highest" form of life ...

when i took care of lab animals, i had to narrow it down to JUST that ~ i TOOK CARE OF ANIMALS ... i talked to them, i listened to them, i rubbed their heads ... (except for that big brown rat that bit me ... i just talked to him!)

*whew* ... i know what ya mean xta, i usually don't speak up or out with this kinda stuff ... it's way too volatile! but ya know, it's nice to be able to discuss opposing viewpoints and stay calm + rational ... THAT i like alot!

as far as discussing religion, politics, + everything else ... hmmmmmmmm ... i think i'll pass cuz my brain has done cramped up ...

LOL ...
Bon.
(fwiw ~ i voted gore + i think crucifixion is disgusting ... *grin*)
