That's a great article. I stopped reading right at the beginning when it say's the article is dedicated to all the animal defenders.... but I really enjoyed the pictures... PETA called, they claim copyright infringement.

I don't want to rehash this, but this argument regarding animal testing vs. testing on prisoners, I can't come to terms with. Just to confirm, animal testing is cruel - it causes pain, discomfort, permanent injury, etc, etc. But testing on humans, who are subjected to pain, discomfort, permanent injury, etc, etc. is a-ok because you see them as burdens on society?

How can you reconcile the fact there is a human rights norm in the treatment of prisoners, namely, the prohibition of torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Would that not fall under that category? Animal rights are more important that human rights? Look at the big picture not just the fact that they are prisoners.
