If animal rights activists use animal tested drugs they are hypocrites!

Not true.

Unless of course you can come to the natural conclusion that by working and paying taxes you are in full support of the war in Iraq and the development of a nuclear deterrent and GM Crops.

Animal rights activists have no say in what is and isn’t tested on animals. There are companies who are given grants to test soya products, natural homeopathic therapies, vitamins, water, oxygen and various other things on animals.

Obviously where avoidable most animal rights activists will avoid animal tested products e.g. Make up products, household cleaners, detergents and general pharmaceuticals and will always seek cruelty free alternatives where possible.

Just because a product or treatment is tested on animals does not mean that the product came about because of the animal testing. The animal tests are there as an insurance policy for when someone displays horrific side effects from use the company can say “Well we tested it on rats and dogs?”.

We will attempt to cover more of the issues surrounding animal tests in future posts but if you do have any questions please ask away!
