| Message | If the testing is humane, why can we not test on humans? Answer, the testing may be harmful which is why we don't dare use humans. Testing violates the rights of the animal, who can not give their consent to such treatment. There are many varied ways in which our scientists can test and conduct research without harming any living creature. Is the Tallahasseea Party aware of computer aided research modeling? |
