Fallen_Angel....are you trying to honestly tell me that you wouldn't kill your own pets if you knew it could save a family member (not the pet's) life? If you honestly believe that than i am glad i am not a close freind or family member of yours. Any rational or emotional person would allow an animal to die in order to save someone they care about.
Its easy to be against medical testing on animals until you need help. Chances are youd have been crippled or killed by polio or smallpox if it weren't for those drugs being tested on rats or hampsters or rabbits. Everyone would love to be able to adequately test new advancements in medicine without having to harm or endanger any animal (cept maybe rats....i HATE rats...). But until someone can come up with a more freindly and cute way to do it, this is teh best method we have.
Have you ever killed a whole line of ants? Ill bet absolutely no new or useful information came from it. Ill bet you didn't even think of the help that could come from learning how they reacted to teh Raid and how they died. And why? because they are not "cute". Whos to say we should spare the rabbits and kill the ants just for fun. Rabbits are at least useful. Killing some sentient species and protecting another is exactly what you wanted to stop in saving the rabbits and rats, but ill bet you all the money i have that you have killed an ant or a cockroach and not even thought about it. Ill bet you have never complained about the ants life when the little kid down the street is burning it with a magnifying glass just for kicks.
In short, all life isn't made equally. You cant save all the animals, or justify only saving teh cute ones. At least we can use their deaths or bodily reactions to improve our quality of life, and maybe even the life of our pets or other cute animals you object to being harmed.
