*Never never never* forget that animal testing is done for *our* convenience. It is not necessary. There *are* alternatives to animal testing, though most in the medical field would have you believe otherwise, but they're not convenient for humans. Some will tell you animal testing is done in a humane way. Really? If it could be done in a humane way, wouldn't we be testing on *ourselves*? Of course not. We might suffer or come to harm. So we practice the most ungodly stuff on animals. It is not a matter of science. It is a matter of morals. How many ferrets is a human life worth. Five? One hundred? A million? If you think you can answer that rationally, you have lost your way. And I'm not even mentioning the insanity of how we're splicing genes and mutating animals just because *we can*. I want to know where the word "humane" came from. Such a bastardized word. It can't possibly be related to anything human. We are the least humane creatures on the planet. Oh, and a triple *bleep U* to Triple F. I made myself watch the video because I owe it to these innocents not to turn my head. I will probably have nightmares for days, but none like these poor ferrets have every day of their miserable lives. Unbelievable. No amount of tears I can shed will ever stop me from being ashamed I'm human.
