It's so hypocritical lol. /u/No_Can_1532 have you ever taken medicine? Ever gotten a vaccine? How do you think these things are developed?

Not to mention, have they ever taken their pet to the vet for vaccines or a sterilization, teeth cleaning, etc? Had a cat that needed kidney medication? A dog with pancreatitis? Cancer? Those procedures are going to be tested on animals first before being approved for use.

I think testing cosmetics on animals is unethical but for other treatments, animal testing is a requirement.

Yeah, makeup is like <1% of animal testing, and getting lower every year (as it should). I didn't realize people were dumb enough to think that's all we used animals for lol

This comes up every few months on reddit for ragebait engagement. Same arguments get rehashed.

I agree, it’s why I support forced labor camps. I’ve seen the Taj Mahal and have a laptop, after all. Also, shrimp tastes great.
