| Message | We are sorry sv, we cant agree to this since AP believes in science. It is cruel but we will always set humans before animals therefore the testing on animals wich is regulated and whaling wich is illegal but legal for science. |

| Message | This does not ban the testing of medicines on animals (which we support under certain circumstances). It only bans the testing of cosmetics which is for example shampoo, make-up, sun cream, body lotion etc. We believe there is no medical or scientific justification to test cosmetics on animals. |

| Message | We also feel that science is used simply as an excuse to carry out whaling and that it's of no actual benefit either for our economy or for Kazulia's social or scientific progress. If it turns out that there is a strong scientific need for whaling in future though then we would of course consider rethinking our position. |
