Do you think they just grab a random kitten and shove drugs up its bum until it bursts?

There's actual medication that was tested on animals that was completely fine then when it got approved it was given to human women and caused crazy amounts of miscarriages. Different species are not comparable when it comes to medication, testing on animals is almost completely pointless.

Yes they're not the same. Do you think scientist are unaware of that? It is most certainly not almost completely pointless. Are you?

You'd be surprised how stubborn some people can be in keeping with older ways of doing things, even more so in academia and the like.

It sometimes feels as if the medical and scientific knowledge of people who are hardline against animal testing at all is exactly that and only that thinking, yes.
