Vivisection profits from torture! Protests continue all over Auckland

Please feel free to notify the DHB that when you or a close family member is seriously ill, that you will decline any treatment that has ever been tested on animals.

"Think about the economy for a change. It's time to get real."
If we think hard enough, we might just get capitalism to work, and avoid another of its regular collapses.

It is a common misconception that because medicines have been tested on animals, that therefore they must be tested on animals. But this does not follow logically. If we used this argument, then nobody from the Southern United States who is opposed to slavery would drive on the road, because many of them would have been built by slaves. Closer to home, much of New Zealand's economy is based on confiscation of Maori land; the economy of my country (the UK) is based on exploitation from its former colonies. We will probably find the economy of all so-called "developed" countries is based on similar exploitative practices. Does that mean we should refuse any state help, including education. Far bettr that we use the education and the priviledged position this gives us to redress past wrongs, and this must include vivisection, which is not only ethically repugnant but scientific fraud.

So you'd condemn animal experimentation, but still happily use the fruits of those experiments?

Since the dawn of history humans have eaten meat, worn leather and made little fish hooks from bones. So whats the problem then with using animals to test drugs???
