>Perhaps all the smokers would like to put themselves up for medical research, if all those with tobacco induced heath problems were forced to submit to research, tobacco consumption would stop overnight <

Probably yes!
However if all the animal rights activists put themselves up for medical experiments we wouldn't have to use animals in medical experiments and everyone would be happy!

In virtually every book or article I've read on prehistory. The start of our road to the dizzy hights of civilization we inhabit today is marked by our ancestors testing their primitive tools on animals. About the only consistant things humanity has ever done have been to kill imprison and torture animals for out own benefits/comfort/pleasure. I think these actions may well define our species. We have now reached a stage of civilisation in some parts of the world where we don't need to wear furs to keep warm. We can wear synthetics. We don't need to kill animals to eat. We can open a tin. We don't need to bait badgers(except in Hull) We can watch I'm a Celebrity. We are being seperated from the core of our being. If you don't want to do anything to animals fine get on with your life and I'll get on with mine.
And why are Animal Rights Activists always on the left politically?

Hugging a rainbow here, eating meat, smoking a fag and knowing that PETA people are all insane.....I also know that ake seems to be a pillock...not that I'm calling names...He just likes to kill things by 'freeing' them....Me, I kill them honestly and humanely, with a bullet or a hatchet. Eat en too. Seems Ake prefers them to starve or die fighiting. Just my take on this.

It is estimated by the estimation people--no one actually knows who they are, but they help shape our culture in lotsa ways--that the average person swallows 6 spiders in his/her lifetime. If yer above average it may mean ya swallow ten or eleven, and if yer below average ya may swallow one or two. Superiorly above average people eat them by the dozens, but because they really screw up the stats, the folks who estimate jus' don't include them. Strange, huh?

PS I know spiders are not animals, but I once had two tarantulas that were as hairy as yer average Pekinese dog, and they are living things, and we eat them live while we're sleeping. Like, how cool is that? Of course, I presume these are small spiders, because if ya ate a tarantula who didn't wanna be et, he/she might have somethin' to say about it and simply rip yer throat out as it was on its way to your tummy. Maybe not.

Im disappointed that you think me a fool Sorcha.

Iv had a quick skim through you posts and failed to turn up many "pearls of wisdom",so maybe it takes one to know one ...Eh?

I never said I support every action taken by activists, releasing laboratory bred animals into an unsuitable environment is of course extremely stupid.
However ,I do support their actions against commercial laboratories,
actions that continue to be very effective.

There is obviously strong feelings here about animal rights activists, but I feel more people are upset and frightened over the success of the direct action than the principles involved...Ake

More lives are saved each day from the ravages of cancer,thanks to those furry creatures. My husband is one such survivor.
As to the cure for the common cold...?
There really is no such thing. It's a misnomer....an oxymoron if you will.
Each time a person picks up a 'cold virus'....it adapts to his/her personal genetic make-up. Then it's passed to another & 'it' changes & mutates yet again....then passed on...etc.the cycle is endless. Therefore no true 'cure' can be found that will adapt to the viruses ever-changing form.

Don't get me wrong, I love critters...but each has a purpose. We eat beef yet in other countries the bovine is sacred.
We have dogs as pets,yet they're prized as food in other countries.
No cuelty is definded as mistreatment.Like veal. There's mistreatment for ya. Kept in a SMALL confined cage from birth.Fed nothing but milk.Not allowed to hardly move, let alone stand. Pumped full of chemicals,then slaughtered at a very young age. All for producing a very soft meat with hardly any muscle mass.
The lab animals are fed & kept very well actually.

mRNA--that's where a 'cure' may be found for the common cold.

However, I was reading that the Scots on this thread are having difficulties with their language. I wanted to remind you--and I have in on excellent authority--that if you wake a Scot at 3:00 AM, he or she will talk exactly like a Canadian.

God will get me for that, I'm sure.

ake-I was not taking the piss, the "old bird they dug up", was the grandmother of somebody that supplies [i think] heating oil to the guiena pig farm, that supplies huntindon life sciences.
The police have now arrested somebody with unlawfully removing a body from a human grave.

No matter how strongly I disagreed with a business practice, there is no way I would dig up the recently buried body of their grandmother and dump it somewhere.

There is no evidence at all that the grave was dug up by animal rights protesters.

The first rule of propaganda is to demonise the enemy. Has no-one heard of dirty tricks to achieve this?

It is surprising the vested interests involved in the drugs industry hadn't thought of this one earlier, to drive public support away from protesters.

It won't work, as what companies like HLS, and Darley Oaks Farm get up to is loathsome to all decent people.

Shades of George Carlin:
Sometimes I wonder why protest groups are named as they are-- grammatically speaking--like "antiabortionprotesters." It really infers that they are protesting against those who are against abortion. Are the animal rights protesters protesting against the rights of animals? Which exact rights are they protesting against? The right to bear arms (in their paws) against the dogcatchers?
   I've seen animal rights protesters who wear leather. Leather earthshoes. Take leather suede "Hushpuppies" shoes. They named them after puppies cause puppies are so cute, right? So how many critters (were they puppies?) did they kill so that the animal rights protesters could wear their comfortable Hushpuppies on the march? Leather belts. Leather purses. Where do they think the leather comes from, a leather tree? And why do they get into such a lather over fur? Isn't leather the part just underneath the fur--the part that the fur used to be attached to?
   Sounds like we have some antiprotester protesters here in the 'Cat. Are any of you antiMudCat protesters? Or possibly antiMudcat Mudcat protesters? Doth youse protesters protesteth too mucheth?
   Oh yeah, and is the "old bird" they dug up related to Big Bird? (see not exactly coresponding thread re: Big Bird.)
    Cluin, did you ever get your beauty sleep?

They deserve to be taken seriously. Taken seriously, and placed in an isolated area (here in the UK, I suggest a Scottish island) without any animal derived products, medical tratements tested on animals, etc. The 3% of them who suvive a year might see sense then.
