Animal Testing

I think it is very unfortunate for animals to die or at least suffer from cosmetic and medical testings. They are victims of a problem that isn't theirs. But doesn't this sound familiar here in America: with taxpayers funding abortions by reckless females, young males facing the "call to duty" for a war that they did not start or agree with, or the general public having to adjust to foreign languages to cater to immigrants, even illegals in social security, despite their failure to pay taxes (But wait: aren't foreigners supposed to adapt to us? They came here uninvited, right?). Don't get me wrong, I'm a humanitarian with foreign friends and American pride but peopla as a whole should be considerate, even on the burden they cause. The point is this: as humans, the "intelligent" ones, we shouldn't put animal lives before our own or make our lives more difficult than necessary. So what about animals? I hear too many people that have a passion for supporting and defending animals but in elections or discussion, treat humans and their problems like "animals". By "animals" I  mean beasts of the Earth, food for us and themselves, and pieces for clothing, and materials we use daily--simply insignificant to humans. I can't stand the role reversal. I've seen the beast in dogs, for instance, plenty of times with vicious growls and barks so they aren't hard to belittle in  significance. However, I do feel bad for animals. Once again,  they are victims. But I will add this: I cannot disapprove of the testings in theory b/c they're directed toward a beneficial cause instead of one like the "need" for a new fur coat...(selfish).

There is a huge moral issue at hand, but it is not abuse toward animals. It's an internal issue with the scientists: What kind of psycho would think to use or, even worse, attempt to use deadly chemicals for something as simple as hair and then distribute it to the masses? And, ignoring the few exceptions in history, what would possess you to try poison as medicine in the first place (They're opposites, right?)? This kind of person endangers everyone's lives and is equivalent to a terrorist. Capital punishment anyone? This is who you "animal-lovers" and others who oppose my earlier views should direct your frustrations at.
