I wasn't.I was just merely observing that they don't have all the answers either.I've heard so many times that all experiments on animals are unnecessary which has led me to wonder if they even listen to the scientist's point of view that SOME animal experimentation cannot be done any other way except on human guinea pigs...Which would open a whole new can of worms.

Agreed not all animal experiments are necessary(I don't need an animal to be tested on to know I shouldn't get shampoo in my eyes)but some are, as proven here.

It would be nice to have a reasoned debate about it BUT I've never seen any such debate do anything but descend into flame wars because some people cannot stand back and debate it rationally and with the minimum of emotion.
