Bill: Better the Mice than Men
Details

Status[?]: defeated

Voting deadline: December 2365
Description[?]:
| Okay, so this one time Poison Ivy came up with mind-controlling lipstick, and tricked Batman into making out with her. Bats was her slave for like a month, and I had to heat-vision his Batjet just so he'd stop attacking the Justice League Watchtower... the guy was totally whipped. Turned out Ivy sold the lipstick at Macy's, and we had to go around stopping all these crime sprees without hurting any men, because it wasn't really their fault. So I'm thinking, if that lipstick was first tested on animals, and someone noticed the mice were doing all the rabbit's biddings, it would never have sold at Macy's and no mind-controlling would have gone on. Doesn't seem very nice to the cute little mice, but my buddy The Atom, who's a bigshot scientist, told me that those mice are bred specifically for cosmetic testing, and if there was no testing, the mice wouldn't even exist. More cute mice and less harmful cosmetics for people, sounds like win win! |

| Message | We cannot agree with either of these, if people want to test their cosmentics (as they should, for their own business' sake) then they can pay PEOPLE to test them. Scientific research occasionally needs to use animal testing, where there is reason to believe that testing on humans might be harmful, so we regulate it slightly. |

| Message | Hm okay, but harmful cosmetics can do some pretty gross and dangerous things to people, even kill them (and I bet nobody signs up to die from mascara). Plus you don't breed people for the specific purpose of testing cosmetics on them, that would kinda violate the whole right to life deal. It's just a whole lot safer and easier with animals, I don't understand why you wouldn't let research or cosmetic companies use them first? |

| Message | Why not shoot down the cosmetic companies? Aren't they the real enemies here? No need to punish the poor bunnies coz some sluts feel like they can't live without the perfect eyeliner is there? |

| Message | Poor bunnies? You mean the bunnies that wouldn't exist would be okay and instead you support the horrible accidents that occur from people-testing? ugh. |
