Technologically, humans continue to make progress. However, isn’t
it interesting how truly uncivilized they remain when it comes to
other areas of their lives? There is a huge gulf between their
technological accomplishments and their treatment of most non-humans
with whom they (reluctantly?) share the earth.
And, with the availability of so many more accurate methods that do
not require sentient animals, why would they continue to utilize an
ever-increasing number of them in biomedical experiments in this day and
age? Can human beings really be considered “civilized” when they still
cling to intrinsically cruel endeavors and deny the fact that they are
unnecessary and flawed? They pretend to be emotionally detached
“scientists” while they engage in activities that they themselves would
label as being “psychopathic” if performed on someone they cared about.
Cruelty is just that – cruelty – no matter who the perpetrator or who
the recipient of the act. There are no excuses. Hiding behind the façade
of “science” does not justify what lies just beneath the surface: an
emotional attachment to an industry that the general public holds in awe
and whose sadism is rewarded with publication and status enhancement.
