Thoroughly against animal testing on higher level animals, based on what has happened to highly intelligent animals like Nim. If you saw the documentary you would understand. What happened to this lovely boy is beyond words.....unspeakable, really.

The idea of using surrogates to "suffer for us" just isn't appealing to me from an ethical standpoint.
I'm especially against it for cosmetics.....I hardly think some woman having nice eyelashes is worth an animal being caged in a lab and skin/eye tested for her vanity.
I guess maybe I am courageous.....if I were ill I would enroll in a clinical trial .... not make some other species do that for me.
As for quitting vaping, a question many ponder, dunno why srg rock got so offended. We talk about this all the time, and many members have quit. I really see no problem with putting it out there as a question on a forum. It's been asked before, and never saw any freaked out replies til now.
